But one warning though - they are highly ADDICTIVE! :) Tips to Avoid Uppu Seedai(s) from bursting in hot oil One of the main reasons for this innocent looking snack to scare the hell out of cooks is that at times it starts bursting while you are frying, scattering hot oil all over the kitchen. Vella seedai is another mandatory preparation for Gokulashtami and this is more liked by kids. Unlike uppu seedai there is no risk of bursting but there is one common problem with Vella seedai. The magic of the South Indian tempering. If you are going to experiment with South Indian cooking, your kitchen needs to be stocked with rice, tamarind (or kokum), sambhar powder and rasam powder, ghee and cooking oils like groundnut, coconut or sesame oils.
