My Amma used to make this as a vadai for prasadhum without onions and we used to love it. Its very simple, does not take in much oil, very tasty, a wonderful snack to have with tea or coffee. Make it when you have friends dropping in and you are out of snacks. Takes 10 minutes to prepare if you use curd and 5 minutes if you add sour cream. This is very delicious when you eat it hot or cold. The output is a very crunchy pakoda on the outside but chewy and soft on the inside. Can be eaten as such or with any chutney or sauce. This is an entry to Pakoda Event hosted by Rushina of A perfect bite for the month of July.

Never heard of rava pakodas. I am sure going to try this. This will be a nice alternative to the usual besan based pakodas.

Thu Jul 31, 03:39:00 PMHi , First time on your site.. All the recipes are very nice and easy too.. Never heard of Rava Pakoda before.. Would try for sure.. But I have a question, does the rava need to be roasted or just the raw store bought rava in the packet can be used for the recipe?
Mon Aug 31, 06:18:00 PMHi Yojona,
Tue Sep 01, 12:22:00 PMThanks for visiting my blog and your comments.You do not need to roast the rave.Its just the store bought rave or cream of wheat that you need to use.
Thanks for prompt reply ..
