Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Spice Mixture

  • Grind the groundnuts, asafoetida, and roasted gram dal into a fine powder using a spice grinder. Set aside.

Prepare the Wet Spice Paste

  • Grind the curry leaves, fresh coconut, and dried red chilies into a coarse paste using a blender or food processor. Add a little water if needed to achieve a smooth paste.

Combine the Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, all-purpose flour, semolina, carom seeds, salt, and the prepared dry spice powder. Add the butter and mix well.

Temper the Dough

  • Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a small pan. Pour this hot oil into the flour mixture and mix well. This helps to create a crispy texture.

Add the Wet Paste

  • Add the prepared wet spice paste to the flour mixture. Mix well to form a soft, pliable dough. Add a little water if necessary to bring the dough together.

Knead the Dough

  • Knead the dough thoroughly until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Shape the Kodubale

  • Take a small lemon-sized portion of the dough and roll it into a long cylindrical shape between your palms.

Form the Rings

  • Join the ends of the cylindrical shape to form a ring. Press gently to seal the ends. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Deep Fry the Kodubale

  • Heat the remaining oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Carefully drop the Kodubale rings into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry to Golden Brown

  • Fry the Kodubale, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. This takes about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Drain and Serve

  • Remove the fried Kodubale from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Final Step

  • Serve the Kodubale warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Kodubale

  • For extra crispy Kodubale, allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes after kneading.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan while frying. Fry in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  • Adjust the amount of red chilies according to your spice preference. Start with fewer chilies and add more if desired.
  • For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of oil for frying.
