Tips:

• To avoid sour taste of the ribbon Pakoda flour, first make sure that all required items are ready then finally add the rice flour in to the mixture.
• Here I used long red chili; according to chili variety the quantity of chili will be vary.
• This is an easy Ribbon Pakoda Recipe, can use both idly rice and cooking rice for making this ribbon Pakoda. (Equal quantity)
• If the dough becomes tightened means sprinkle some salted water and knead dough again and make ribbon Pakoda recipe.
• If you are a cholesterol patient means add dalta or heated oil for making ribbon Pakoda because butter absorbs too much oil in Pakoda. ( for more crispy use more roasted chana dal flour).
