Uppu seedai | how to make uppu seedai – Seedai recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.

Uppu Seedai we make for  Gokulashtami and the festival is nearing I wanted to post the uppu seedai recipe , a traditional snack. I used to do this every year and the recipe I got from a Tamil magazine “Mangayar Malar” some 21 years back. I was a beginner at that time and saw that recipe in the magazine, basically they gave a lot of tips for beginners. Those days making STD phone calls to amma was too expensive. Being a newly married with zero experience in Bakhshanam making, I managed to do this with the help of the tips given in the book.

I could say it’s a huge success without bursting of single seedai. Later year after year I could perfect the same recipe. Till today I am following the same recipe and I can confidently make seedai without any fear. Vella seedai and uppu seedai, if you follow the recipe perfectly, you will surely get the perfect results.
