ABOUT Thattai - A South Indian Crispy Snack RECIPE

Thattai is a crispy snack made during Diwali in our home. During Diwali my mother used to make lots of Murukkus, Thattais and sweets and stock for a month. We used to distribute sweets and snacks to near and dear ones. And we also give them to those who visit us also.

Instructions

Soak channa dhal for 1 hour in water.
Mix rice flour,ured dal flour, asafoetida, red chilli powder, salt, butter at room temperature and the soaked channa dhal well.
Add water little by little to make a thick and smooth dough.
Take a piece of plastic paper, spread oil in the paper, make small ball of the flour, and keep it in paper.
Grease the fingers with oil and press the ball to flatten it. The thattai should be really thin and prick the thattai with fork in many places. Otherwise thattai will puff like pooris.
