Janmashtami special cheedai / seedai :-
How to make a cheedai making 'terror' into a 'pleasure'? i.e. How to prevent cheedai / seedai from exploding? Here are few tips which I practice and makes my cheedai making successful everytime right from the first time.
- Seive the flour well.
- Very lightly roast the flour
- Roast the sesame seeds till they pop
- Never shape it to a perfect round. Use 3 fingers and roll between them.
- Keep less oil and put more cheedai / seedai balls
100% if you follow the above, it will not explode.
If you still are left with some fear..... no need to wear a helmet. Just keep a perfect lid handy, put the perforated laddle in it towards the wall and partly cover the kadai (not fully) to your side and the openening facing towards the kitchen wall. don't worry, after two batches, you will get the confidence to fry it without the lid. :-)
Wish you all a happy Janmashtami
