Ribbon Pakoda

Ribbon Pakoda or a stripe or string of fried pieces are delicious to munch. I think because of its chain style and long strip its called as ribbon. Pakoda is some fried items which can be eaten during snack time. It is almost similar to our sev or karasev (spicy sev). Though it is fried the mind pulls you to have them with hot coffee or tea even fruits juices. You can prepare Ribbon Pakodas in using different ingredients. Using only besan, besan with rice flour, besan and urid flour, besan with roasted channa etc. Each kind has its own taste and all age group can enjoy munching this ribbon pakdoas.
