Recipe for crispy Ragi Pakoda. A Kongunad special recipe made with Ragi, peanut and veggies. A perfect snack for tea time. Ragi Pakoda recipe with step by step pictures.

Ragi Pakoda is a very special recipe that’s made in almost all the households in the kongunad region for evening snack. A little peanut powder is added to make it light and rich. The pakoda will be very hard and gummy without the peanut powder. So be sure to add the peanut powder. It is one of our house favorite recipe. Here is how to do it.

Here is the video of the recipe:

Take a mixie and add in the roasted peanuts and roasted fried gram (pottukadalai). Grind it to a coarse powder. Set aside.

Add water little by little and mix until all the flour is moistened.

The dough should not be too wet. It should be just moistened and not dry.

If you take a small piece of dough and press in your palm, you should be able to form a ball. The dough is ready.

Heat oil in a kadai until medium hot. Add a small piece of the dough to check if the oil is ready. The oil is ready if the dough floats immediately to the top. If not wait for a minute more. Add in small pieces of the dough to the oil when the oil is ready. Cook on a medium flame for 2-3 minutes.
