Ribbon Pakoda is one of the popular snacks that we make for Diwali. I make Ribbon Pakoda quite often to fill up the snack box as kids are fond of it. Ribbon pakoda is a delightful crunchy snack that can be enjoyed as such or with tea.

About Ribbon Pakoda

Ribbon Pakoda also called as Nada Thenkuzhal, Ola Pakoda or Ribbon Murukku is one of our family favorite snacks. As kids we used to call it oatu pakoda as it sounds catchy.

You can adjust the spice level by varying the amount of red chili powder, and you can also customize the flavor by adding other seasonings like cumin seeds, turmeric powder, garlic if you prefer.

This is a instant quick version of ribbon pakoda. The other version is by soaking and grinding a batter using raw rice and adding fried gram dal powder which is time consuming so I always stick with this instant Ribbon Pakoda Recipe.Do try it and enjoy. I am sure this will be easy for beginners too.

Ribbon Pakoda Press

I used my idiyappam press for making ribbon pakoda or ribbon murukku. The disc at the bottom is interchangeable – I use the ribbon murukku disc, the one in bronze is little thin so sesame seeds gets easily stuck in it so got another disc to fit it in this press which I have used. This press is readily available in stores and online too.

If you are new and want to buy one I would recommend buying a bronze press though it is a bit expensive when compared to others.

Ribbon Pakoda Ingredients

  • Flour – A mix of rice flour, besan flour and gram dal flour is used for Ribbon Pakoda.
  • Butter – Butter is added to give a soft melt in the mouth texture. Use fresh butter preferable homemade butter, melt and use it.
  • Sesame Seeds – Sesame seeds is added for flavor and crunch.
  • Red Chilli powder – Red Chili powder not only gives good color, it also adds spice to ribbon pakoda.
  • Hing – Hing is added for a nice flavor and also aids in digestion.
  • Oil – You can either use refined oil or groundnut oil for deep frying. I mostly use groundnut oil.

Expert Tips

  • You can also add garlic paste say 1 teaspoon to the dough.
  • To add more spice you can add 1 and 1/2 teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder.
  • I used white sesame seeds ,you can add black sesame seeds too.
  • This is plain version of ribbon pakoda, you can add garlic, pepper to add more flavor.
  • Instead of sesame seeds you can replace it with cumin seeds too.
  • You can skip fried gram dal flour and add besan flour for that quantity too.But adding fried gram dal powder gives a light texture to the pakoda so I prefer adding it.

  • This keeps well for about a week or up to 10 days in room temperature.
