Thanks for your comment on my blog. I love seedai(well, we call it cheeda)....never had the "comb" version of it before, though. Looks like an interesting variation.

Hi,
First time to ur blog, I also normally do this snack,we call it chegada, there is a similar malaysian snack which looks like the shell ,known as Kuih Siput,it is spicy what with cumin,onions , curry leaves and dried prawns all added to it. You can also use a fork to form the shell shape.Take abit of dough, flatten it on the fork and roll it over on medium hot oil.
