Too much of sweet is not good. So one karam for a change for your Diwali.

Idli Rice	2 cups
Fried gram(pottu kadalai)	1 cup
Black sesame seeds	1tsp
Oil to fry
Salt to taste
Butter	2 tsp
Garlic flakes(optional)	8
Chilli powder	1 tsp

1. Soak the idli rice for 4 to 5 hours.
2. Powder the fried gram in the mixer and keep
3. Grind the rice in the grinder well to a smooth thick batter.
4. Wash the grinder and keep the water aside.
5. Mix the rice batter and fried gram powder well with salt ,butter, sesame seeds and chilli powder using the flour water.
6. If preferable, can grind garlic in a small mixer jar and add to the rice while grinding.
7. The consistency of the blended batter should be thick enough to put it in a ribbon pakoda roller and squeeze in the oil.
8. Keep oil in a curved tawa and make pakodas. This will be very crispy and in golden colour.
