Notes

1. Always roast the flour and sieve them twice.
2. While adding cumin seeds, sesame seeds, and coconut check whether all the impurities are removed. Even a small stone or dust particle will make the seedai burst.
3. The seedai has to be fried on a medium-low flame, as this will make it cook them inside too.
4. You can use store-bought rice flour too.
5. Idiyapam flour will not work out well uppu seedais.
