About Karupatti Seedai Recipe
Karupatti Seedai, also known as Palm Jaggery Seedai, is a traditional South Indian snack that is prepared during festive occasions, especially during the festival of Krishna Jayanthi (Janmashtami). Karupatti refers to palm jaggery, which is a type of sweetener made from the sap of palm trees, and seedai refers to small deep-fried snacks. This Karupatti Seedai is made by combining rice flour, urad dal flour (black gram flour), roasted sesame seeds, grated coconut, and palm jaggery. The ingredients is mixed together and formed into a dough, we shape them into small balls or cylindrical shapes which are deep-fried until they turn golden brown and become crispy. The use of palm jaggery in Karupatti Seedai gives it a unique flavor and a hint of sweetness.

How to Make Seedai without Bursting
It’s important to note that making Seedai requires some skill, as the dough needs to be prepared with the right consistency and the deep-frying process should be done carefully to avoid any mishaps. Making the perfect and traditional seedai needs few preparations in advance. To get it right, you have to make rice flour and urad dal flour at home. But you can use store bought flours too. Other than that it is pretty easy. I have compiled all the reason why seedai burst here.
Use Fresh & Dry Ingredients:
Ensure that the rice flour, urad dal flour, and palm jaggery are fresh and free from any moisture. Moisture in the ingredients can cause the seedai to burst during frying. Make sure the rice flour, urad dal flour, and other dry ingredients are completely dry before mixing them together. Moisture can lead to steam formation inside the seedai, causing it to burst.
Dough Consistency
The dough should have the right consistency, neither too dry nor too wet. If the dough is too dry, it may crack and cause the seedai to burst. If it’s too wet, it can release excess steam during frying, leading to bursting. Adjust the consistency by adding warm water or melted ghee in small increments as needed.
Resting Time
Allow the dough to rest for about 10-15 minutes after shaping the seedai. You can spread the rolled seedai balls in clean cloth which absorbs the excess moisture.
Frying Temperature
Maintain the oil temperature at a medium heat. If the oil is too hot, the seedai may cook too quickly on the outside and burst while the inside remains uncooked. Use a thermometer or test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it—it should rise slowly without immediate browning.
Pat Dry Before Frying
Ensure that the shaped seedai are completely dry on the outside before frying them. Any moisture on the surface can cause the seedai to burst when it comes in contact with hot oil.

Tips & Tricks
Storage of Seedai
Allow the seedai to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. This will help retain their crispiness. Store them in a cool, dry place and consume within a few days for the best taste.
