Seedai is a super popular South Indian jar snack, which is inseparable from Janmashtami celebrations in Tamil Nadu. Every household makes a batch of tiny, ball-shaped seedais by deep-frying a dough of rice and urad flours with butter and spices, to offer to the playful Lord Krishna.

We present here a modified and healthier version of seedai made with a blend of healthy flours, and baked to perfection instead of deep-frying.

Not only do we boost the nutrition content using wholesome flours, but we also do away with the extra calories attached to deep-frying, making this snack accessible to everybody including dieters.

You can also try other healthy snacks like Baaked Bhakarwadi and Matarsutir Kachori .

It came out lovely! We enjoyed it very much! I made it in a baati cooker and it worked well. Don’t know the original version so I can’t compare, and mine were not fully crispy, they are soft in the centre like small bread balls with a crust, is that ok?

Tarla Dalal    Hi, It needs to be crunchy from inside as well.
