Ribbon Pokada

Ribbon Pakoda is a very popular South Indian tea time snack made from gram flour and rice flour. Ribbon Pakoda are an inclusion to all festivals and occasions. My husband loves it a lot, and I am sure you would too… Even though many of us know the recipe, this is my version.

Rice flour                                   - 1 cup
Besan flour                                – 3 cup
Urdh dhal powder                       – 3 tbsp.
Unsalted Butter                           – 3 tbsp.
