Pasi Paruppu Seedai | Payatham Paruppu Seedai | Instant Seedai Recipe | Seedai Recipe with Stepwise Pictures | Festival Special Recipe | Quick and Easy Recipe

Hi Supermoms,

If there is one dough recipe with which you can make murukku and seedai, will you say NO? 

I am sure you will want to try such a recipe. Yes, I made murukku and seedai with this dough. And the best part was that the seedai did not burst at all.  Of course, you should be careful not to tightly roll the marbles. You all must  be busy with Janmashtami preparations, so without further delay, let me share the recipe. 

If you have read my  Ring murukku recipe, then the same recipe works for this seedai also. One dough- two snacks. How convenient.

Tip: Roast the rice flour in low flame continuously stirring it.
