ribbon pakoda recipe | ribbon murukku recipe | ola pakoda with step by step photo and video recipe. there are several ways and shaped murukku recipe out of which ribbon pakoda is one such variation. it slightly differs from the conventional murukku without any sharp edges and is basically flat like ribbon. in south india each state has its own regional name, but most popularly and commonly, it is known as ribbon pakoda.
i have shared several other murukku recipe or chakli recipe, but ribbon murukku recipe is my personal favourite due to the shape and taste. it is one of the common recipe i prepare especially during diwali or deeplavali festival. i make this specifically to share with my friends and family with other sweet because of its attractive shape. i even extend this recipe by preparing it with maida / all purpose flour or atta / wheat flour. but to be honest, besan and rice flour combination tastes great as compared to later.
furthermore some important tips and suggestions for a perfect crispy and crunchy ribbon pakoda recipe. firstly, as i mentioned earlier i have used combination of rice and besan. but it can also be prepared with just besan but rice flour adds the crisp texture which you may miss with besan flour. secondly, add hot oil just before kneading the dough and crumble the flour. lastly, deep fry ribbon murukku in a medium heat oil for a better result. it may loose its crunchiness and crispiness if fried in a hot flame.
finally, i would like to highlight my other festival snacks recipes collection from my blog. it mainly includes, shankar pali, palak chakli, aloo bhujia, spicy mixture, fafda, corn flakes chiwda, masala vada, banana chips, kodubale, nippattu and mysore bonda recipe. in addition do visit my other recipes collection with this post of ribbon pakoda recipe,
