Ingredients:
Raw rice / Pachari – 1 cup (Soaked in water for an hour)
Besan / Gram flour / Chickpea flour – 1 cup
Kashmiri red chilly powder – 2 tbsp
Turmeric powder – ¼ tbsp
Fennel seed powder – 1 tsp
Asafoetida / Hing – 1 tsp
Oil – 2 tbsp
Salt
Oil – For frying

Steps:
Drain the soaked rice.
Add it to a mixie jar and powder finely.
If there are any coarse granules, sift the rice powder.
1 cup rice makes 2½ cups of rice flour.

Combine unroasted rice flour, besan, Kashmiri red chilly powder, turmeric powder, fennel seed powder, asafoetida and salt.
Sprinkle some water and make a smooth dough out of it.
Add oil and knead again.
The dough should be of the consistency of idiyappam dough.

Use the pakkavada nozzle in the idiyappam press. Fill the press with the dough.

Heat oil in a pan.
Once the oil is hot, switch to low flame.
Press the dough to the hot oil in circular motion.
Cook on medium flame.
When one side is cooked, flip and cook the other side.
Remove from oil and drain.

Garnish the pakkavada with some fried curry leaves.
Break the pakkavada into small pieces.
Enjoy with a cup of tea.

Notes:
-If you like your pakkavada spicy, add 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chily powder and 1 tbsp normal chilly powder.
