Ribbon Pakoda or we can call those crunchy stripes as Ribbon Murukku too. Another recipe for festival season. It’s delicious in taste and crispy in texture. I personally like this pakoda, as it is so easy to make, especially when we don’t have to worry about the pakoda shapes. Just press out the dough…. follow your heart and follow your hand, the snack is ready.

To enhance the flavor, fry some curry leaves together with the pakoda. Add the curry leaves, when the pakoda is almost cooked (to ensure the curry leaves has it’s green color and maintain its fragrance).
