Ribbon
Pakoda is another delicious, crispy, crunchy and a traditional snack prepared
during Diwali and Krishna Jayanthi. The name is really very interesting because
these pakodas are long like a ribbon(nada in Tamil) and also in most of the
houses it is also called ola/ottu pakoda because they are crispy and crunchy.
There are different variations in making this ribbon pakoda, this is the
easiest version that can be done easily and quickly. I am planning to share the
other variations with garlic and sesame seeds in my future post hopefully
before Diwali. My mom prepares murukkus, ribbon pakoda, oma podi etc during
Diwali, Krishna Jayanthi and other special occasions. I carry out
the same tradition of making all these during these special days and see to
that I don’t break this tradition every year. Meanwhile, do check out other interesting Diwali Sweets and Diwali Snack varieties here.
