Ribbon pakoda is a staple snack prepared on the occasion of Diwali, especially in South India. Murukku recipes are very popular in the South. For me, as it is mathri in North India, it is murukku in the South. Talking about mathri, on the blog you can find the Nimki from West Bengal, the healthy yet flaky whole wheat mathri, perfect for tea-time masala mathri, etc.

For ribbon pakoda recipe, following are the required ingredients:

Flours: In this ribbon pakoda recipe rice flour and gram flour have been used in a 2:1 ratio. Regular gram flour has been used. Roasted gram flour can also be used for a crispier texture.

Flavoring: Asafetida, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, red chili powder, and turmeric powder have been used to flavor the ribbon pakoda. These flavors compliment each other very well.

Hot Oil: Little hot oil is added while preparing the dough for making ribbon pakoda.

Namkeen Making Machine: It is not an ingredient but is essential to make ribbon pakoda. It is a simple device with different attachments which can be used to make a variety of snacks and namkeen.

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
