Pakkavada is one of the favorite tea time snack of Keralites. My mom in law prepares it every time we go home as it is my hubby's favorite snack... He loves it so much that he keeps on munching it at home. Pakkavada for non keralites is a besan and rice flour mixed snack deep fried in oil. Since its deep fried, I do not prefer my hubby having it at all times... I make different kinds of healthy snacks for my husband and he loves them all and finishes them without complaints even when it doesnt turn out well... But I know that his favorite is still pakkavada and I started feeling guilty for not letting him have it too much... Now a days I bake many dishes instead of deep frying it and So I thought why not try this on pakkavada and check... How ever I did not have rice flour with me. So I used wheat flour along with Besan and Yes, it did work !! My baked pakkavada turned out great and my hubby loved it !!! So thought of sharing the recipe in my blog...
