Wheat Flour Thattai

We make different types of snacks in our home.we make snacks like murukku, thattai, ribbon pakoda, omapodi, etc. We generally make thattai using rice flour. But I have made thattai using wheat flour. This is a crispy deep fried snack. To make crispy thattai, we need to roll it thin, otherwise the thattai will not be crisp.

Ingredients:

• Wheat Flour – 4 cups
• Ured Dhal Flour – ¼ cup
• Bengal Gram – ¼ cup
• Chilli Powder – 2 tsp.
• Salt - 1 tsp. or as needed
• Softened Butter – ¼ cup
• Oil – for deep frying

Method:

• Soak bengal gram in water for half an hour and drain.
• In a bowl, add wheat flour, ured dhal flour, bengal gram, chilli powder, salt and softened butter and mix well.
• Add water little by little to make a soft dough.
• Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.
• Take a plastic sheet and take small balls of the dough and flatten it on the plastic sheet by applying oil on the plastic sheet.
• When the oil is hot enough, keep in simmer and add thattai. Fry till the thattai becomes golden brown in colour by turning both sides.
• You can fry 3 or 4 thattai at a time.
• Drain the thattai in a colander.
• When cooled store in an air tight container.

Note:

• For making ured dhal flour, dry roast the ured dhal in a pan till it becomes golden brown and grind to a fine powder when cooled.
