Notes

Don't fry seedai on high flame as the inside will be raw!should always be fried on medium flame.
If we add more urad dhal the seedai end result will not be good.
If the rice flour is with stones then seedai will burst.
The rice flour and urad flour should be surely sieved before the process of making seedai.
