Ribbon Pakoda known by this name as it resembles to ribbon. This snack is deep-fried and made with gram flour and rice flour. Which makes ribbon pakoda gluten free as well.

To make ribbon pakoda a special equipment is known as “chakli sancha” which comes either in steel metal or brass, required to make these. Each chakli Sancha has multiple press attachments and you need to find this right one to do it.

Ribbon pakoda is a south Indian snack which I came to know while staying in Bangalore. In the north of India, this chakli sancha is very common in the household, and all attachments are used while making snacks especially for Holi festival. Though it is deep fried and prepared at home so I still consider it healthy and kid-friendly.
