Thattai is an Indian Festival Snack made using rice flour , Urad Dal Flour and then with few spice ingredients, This snack is usually prepared during festival days to distribute to friends and relatives. So usually they make it in bulk quantity.
Making thattai in the home is a dream come true for me, There use to be a small petty shop in front of my college where they smell amazing thattai,Once in two days I and my friend go to the shop without fail, Since then it use to be my favorite snack, Was so happy that I could re-create the same in-home. I used my homemade Urad Dal flour for this recipe, which I have shared yesterday.
