Receipe 11: Thattai

Been my fav savory snack for a long time.

It takes more patience to do this if you are planning to do it alone. Last week, it was a combined effort of 4. My paati did the major work, i "tattified" the thattais, Sherin fried it and my mom was doing both these tasks in turns.

What You Need?

Arisi Maavu ( Rice Flour)
Whole Urud Dal Flour
Butter
Kadalai Paruppu (Channa Dal)
Chilli powder(or Chilli Flakes)
salt Water
Curry Leaves

Le Method:

Step 1: Making of the Dough

First, soak some channa dal (not more than 2 hours). Drain the water and keep it aside.
The Rice flour and whole urud dal flour mixture in 4:1 ratio.
Take all these three and put in a bowl and make a dough. First mix it with few small lumps of butter and then use water to make the dough. Add the chilli powder, cut curry leaves and salt water and keep the dough ready.

Step 2:

Take a plastic paper and spread some oil on it. Rub your hands with some oil as well. Make small balls of the dough and flatten it. Use your palm to do it.

Deep fry it till you hear the crackling sound stop.

You are done.
