Hello dear readers, Happy Janmashtami to everyone!
Life's been keeping me busy, and was unable to post any new recipes on my blog for some time. Good to be back.
Krishna janmashtami in my family is celebrated in a grand way. It is a tradition for us to prepare lots of sweet/ savory snacks and dishes and offer it to lord Krishna.
One such dish is Kodubale.
Kodubale is an authentic snack from the state of Karnataka. It is made from a mix of flours and shaped like a bangle which in Kannada is referred to as "Bale".
Kodubale is a good accompaniment with tea or coffee..
Ingredients:
Rice flour-1 cup.
Maida/ all purpose flour-2/4 cup.
Fine rave/semolina-2/4 cup.
Fried bengal gram flour-2/4 cup.
Shredded fresh Coconut-1/2 cup.
Dry red chilies-4-5numbers.
Celery seed-1/2 tsp.
Hing- 1/4 tsp.
Salt.
Oil to deep fry.
Water to mix.
Method:
In a heavy bottom pan just lightly warm- all purpose flour and semolina for 2 mins.
Using the small grinding jar, grind the chilies, coconut and celery seeds into a course mixture.
Take a mixing bowl, add rice flour along with all the other ingredients and mix well. To this mixture add 2-3 tbsp of hot oil. By adding sufficient water make a stiff dough.
Once the oil is hot, make along thick noodles from a small ball of dough, then shape them into small bangles. Drop them gently into the hot oil and deep fry them till golden brown.
Drain them on a paper towel and serve warm or store them and use for several days.
I am sure it would not last for a long time.
