Ari Kondattam | Rice Crisp Fries

Ingredientsfor 3 servings

• 2 cup Rice flour
• 1 Tspn Cumin seeds
• Salt, to taste
• Coconut/Refined Oil As required to fry the Kondaattam

Preparation

1. Step 1

   For preparing the delicious snack, take about 8 cups of water in a vessel and dissolve the Rice Flour in this water properly without leaving any granules etc.

2. Step 2

   Boil about 10 cups of water in another vessel and add the rice flour dissolved water into this boiled water and stir it well.

3. Step 3

   Add Cumin seeds also into this mix and stir it further (if required, add some Pepper powder/granules also into this mix to make the Kondaattam spicy).

4. Step 4

   Then boil this mix further, adding required quantity of Salt in it, in medium flame(the mix should be stirred continuously). When the mix turns into the form of Iddaly batter (generally, this process will take about 5 – 10 minutes) turn off the heat and allow to cool this mix for about 5 minutes time.

5. Step 5

   Then spread a clean cloth or plastic sheet in the court yard/open terrace or at any convenient place and change this rice flour batter into the cloth/plastic sheet by using a small bowl or medium size spoon. Each time, when you put the batter into the cloth/plastic sheet, spread it with the bowl/spoon on round shape as shown in above picture and allow to dry them well (this procedure will take one or two or even three days depending on the condition of sun light).
