Ottu pakoda/olai pakoda is a munching crispy snack can be made in so many ways.I have already shared a version here.
This version of ottu pakoda is made with freshly ground boiled/idly rice and powdered roasted gram dhal.This recipe I noted down from Mrs.Revathy Shanmugam show and she mentioned this is a quiet popular snack in Erode.She also added sesame seeds in the dough so I tried with the same for the first time.But my ottu pakoda disc has thin hole it got struck and difficult to squeeze.So I skipped it while doing it for the second trial.Lets move on to the recipe..............
