Thengolode, also known as Thengalodu or Thengalode, is a traditional South Indian snack made from rice flour and coconut. The dough is prepared with rice flour, grated coconut, cumin seeds, and salt, and then shaped into small balls or cylindrical shapes. These are deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. Thengolode is enjoyed as a crunchy and flavorful snack, perfect for tea time or as a treat during festivals and special occasions.
