Learn how to make tasty and crispy kodbale or kodubale recipe. Kodubale or Kodbale is popular deep fried snacks from Karnataka which will be in ring shape.
"Kodu" word has two meanings in Kannada language. One is "horn" and the other one is a generic name for whole dried beans or long beans. For example it is used like "alasande kodu" for dried long beans. And "bale" translates to bangles in Kannada language. So is the name kodu bale. At my house kodubale, hasi thambittu and shuti-bella are prepared for gokulashtami or Shri krishna janmashtami. You can two more kodubale recipes like mosaru kodubale recipe and Mysore style kodubale on this website. Mosaru kodubale is prepared using rice flour and curd. Unlike regular kodubales, mosaru kodubale is little bit on softer side but tastes too good. And Mysore kodubale is prepared using rice flour and fried gram.

Preparation time: 10 min
Cooking time: 10 min
Serves: 4
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup chiroti rava or fine rava
- 1/2 cup maida flour
- 1/2 to 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp asafoetida
- 1 tsp carom seeds or oma
- 1 tsp salt (or as per your taste)
- 3 - 4 tbsp hot oil
- Oil to deep fry
Instructions for making mini kodubale:
- To begin with take rice flour, rava and maida in a contianer.
- Add red chilli powder and asafoetida.
- Also add in carom seeds (ajwain or oma).
- Add the salt as per your taste. Mix everything well.
- Add 3 - 4 table spoon very hot oil. Mix it using a spoon or spatula.
- Later, rub and mix it well using hands.
- Knead it into a stiff dough by adding required water. I have used 3/4th cup of water.
- Knead it well. The dough should be soft but stiff. Do not make it very soft. It should be soft enough to make the rings, thats all. If you make the dough more soft the kodu bale will not be crispy.
- Now take a small gooseberry sized dough and make rings.
- Heat the oil in a wide frying pan. Drop the kodu bales into the hot oil. But after dropping the kodubales in the oil, start flipping the kodubales after a while.
- Reduce the flame and fry under low flame until all the bubbles are stopped. Continue like this and finish frying all the kodubales.
