It’s Krishna Jayanti today and there are so many seedai
making guru’s. Hence I am not going to publish the regular way. Moreover it’s a working day and its quite
difficult to do it after coming back from work. Inspired by some baking seedai
posts in pinterest this is my version of vegan baking seedai for which you can
take the help of kids too. Fine ground rice flour, roasted urad dhal flour,
cumin seeds, coconut, hing powder mixed with olive oil and water is made as a
soft pliable dough. It is then rolled into small balls and baked in oven. Yummy
seedai is ready.
I got the readymade rice flour and roasted urad dhal flour
as it definitely saves a lot of time. Preparing seedai this way does not have
butter. The rolling of seedai however takes the same amount of time but since
it does not burst you need not do it perfectly. Hence you can delegate this
work to your little one’s too and share this work. In fact my first batch was
prepared by my daughter while I was taking her pictures.
Since I wanted to do it the vegan way I did not use butter
but replaced it with olive oil. You may use butter if you still want. You may
wish to add sesame seeds if you want along with this. I did not add as I was running out of stock. Once
the seedai was cooked though the buttery taste was missing the seedai still
tasted good. With the butter version it was just exactly the same.

Preparation

1. Take
a wide container add rice flour, roasted urad dhal flour, cumin seeds, coconut
, salt, hing powder.
2. Mix
them well.
3. Add
olive oil and mix well.
 
4. Add
water little by little and make them as a soft pliable dough.
5. Apply
coconut oil in hands.
6. Taken
an oven tray and cover it with aluminum foil.
7. Take
a small piece of the dough and roll them into small ball. You need not worry
if its too tight or too loose ball. In oven it does not burst. Place the ball
in the aluminum tray.
  
8. Do
it for the remaining dough.
9. Make
sure the seedai balls are not touching each other and separate them.
10. Pre
heat oven at 180 deg c for 5 minutes.
11. Place
the seedai tray.
12. No need to flip the seedai’s , just observe
when it gets into brown color. Take that piece and check if it is hard like a
seedai.
13. It
got cooked for me at 32 minutes after the pre heat time.
14. Take
it out and place them in plate and allow it to cool before you store in an
airtight container.
 
Enjoy the seedai.

Notes:
You may replace this with butter also. I have tried both the
versions.
You need to separate the seedai’s else they will be sticking
with each other.
I made 2 batches and the second batch for me was faster as
the oven was already heated.
I did not sieve the flour as it was a very fine grain rice
flour and urad dhal flour. If your rice flour is not fine then you need to
sieve it.
Try to make the same size for each ball else the smaller
ones gets cooked faster than the bigger ones.
