Diwali Sweets and Snacks Thattai

Thattai is a traditional snack prepared during diwali. The lighter and crispier thattai will be definitely loved by all the elders and children. This snack could be prepared using the readily available ingredients in our home. The ingredients involved in the preparation are very simple and are sure to be available in everyone’s house.

Ingredients:

Rice flour – 1 cup

Urad dhal – 2 table spoon

Fried Bengal gram – 2 table spoon

Channa dhal– 2 table spoon

White sesame seeds – 1 tea spoon

Chilli powder – 1 table spoon

Ghee – 2 table spoon

Salt – As per requirement

Asafoedita – A small pinch

Oil – For frying

Plastic paper – medium size

Preparation:

In a flat bottomed vessel add the rice flour and fry it for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep the rice flour aside. Now add the urad dhal, fried Bengal gram, channa dhal and fry them well in low flame. They have to be mixed well and fried. Do not over fry them since that would change the taste of the dish. Frying them for three to four minutes would suffice. Later cool them well and make a powder by grinding them in a mixer.

Now in a non- stick vessel (the non-stick vessel is better because the flour wont stick to the vessel when kneaded) add the rice flour along with the powdered ingredients. Add the white sesame seeds, chilli powder, ghee and asafoedita along with salt. Mix them well by adding water. Be very careful while adding water since the dough should not be very

loose.

Take the plastic paper and apply oil to it (so that the dough doesn’t stick to it). Make small balls with the dough (apply oil to the hands while making the balls) and flatten them in the paper. Remember the thinner the dough the crispier the thattai.

Boil oil in frying pan and put it in medium flame. Now slowly transfer the dough from the paper to the pan. Leave the pan in medium flame. Fry them well. Remove them from the pan when they turn golden brown and place them in a container. Cover the container after few minutes. Now the tastier and crispier thattai are ready to the served.

They go very well as an evening snack and also along with rice. The preparation time would be 20 to 30 minutes depending on one’s speed. But this is a very easy and quick snack.
