    1

    To begin making the Ribbon Pakoda recipe, combine all the ingredients listed above except water, until you get coarse crumbs. Gradually add water to make a stiff yet smooth dough.

    Grease the Sev Press or the Sev Sancha with oil and place the plate with many thin strips into the press.

Once the ribbon pakoda starts to turn golden, using a slotted spoon drain excess oil out and transfer the ribbon pakodas on a plate with an oil absorbent paper to cool completely. 

    6

    Press the remaining batches of the ribbon pakoda dough in the similar manner.

    7

    Cool the Ribbon Pakodas and store them airtight containers.

    8

    Serve Ribbon Pakoda  as an evening snack with a hot cup of  Masala Chai.
