Dangerous Popping seedai

I planned to make some seedai for my son and husband but never thot it will turn into a popcorn seedai. I later learnt that seedai has to be dry before frying. One sunday evening I tried my hands on this uppu seedai and vellai seedai mela. My son was watching tv and husband was upstairs playing veena. everything was going fine till i put the seedai into the oil. thatzzit the oil got all angry and started spitting the seedai all over the place.. i switched off the stove and was standing near the kitchen door. Saravedi maadiri seedai was bursting and flying all over the place. My son called it "dangerous snack.. may b it is popcorn". As he rightly said it was popping seedai. When I told this to my mom she said u wud have added more water to that seedai. So next time I will have to try it out properly and make some "friendly seedai".
