Ribbon Pakkoda

Ribbon Pakoda, also known as Nada Pakoda, stands out as a quick and hassle-free snack, perfect for elevating your evening tea time ☕️ and can be effortlessly prepared by anyone.

These delectable treats not only make for an excellent companion during regular tea breaks but are also a sought-after delicacy during festive occasions like Krishna Jayanthi and Diwali. In our home, preparing  ribbon pakoda is a customary affair, often made in modest quantities for our evening tea. The enticing blend of spiced ribbon pakoda paired with a piping hot cup of tea or coffee creates an unparalleled snacking experience.
Personally, I have developed a fondness for enjoying something zesty with my tea or coffee, and the desire to whip up some spicy ribbon pakoda frequently takes hold.
The beauty of these snacks lies in their simplicity and the fact that they can be prepared in just 30 minutes, demanding no intricate culinary skills. As rice flour and chickpea flour are staples in most households, there's minimal need for elaborate preparation or planning.
