Cheeval or ribbon pakoda can be prepared with chevu dough. There
are so many recipes for this snack. I made it with rice flour and besan along
with sesame seeds and pepper powder. You can also add garlic paste for a nice flavor.
Mom gave this recipe and I made some changes like adding butter and pepper powder.
He press used for cheeval has a small rectangular opening so that the dough
comes out like ribbon. That is why it is also called as ribbon pakoda. The
press I have is wooden and the plate is bronze. It was bought by my aunt from
Karaikudi and it is a very nice press. Today is the final day of Blogging Marathon#22. I am linking this to WTML hosted by Preethi and started by me.
