How to make Ribbon Pakoda / Ola Pakoda
In a bowl, add gram flour, rice flour, tapioca powder, chilli powder, asafoetida, and salt.
Mix well and add 1 tbsp of hot oil for extra crispness.
Mix it and knead by adding water little by little to form a soft, non-sticky dough.
Take a ribbon pakoda disc and put it in the murukku press.
Fill the murukku press with the dough and press directly into the oil.
Deep fry over medium to high flame until the pakodas are fully fried, and the hiss sound and bubbles subside.
Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
