Notes

  1. Cumin seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves and Chana Dal can be added
  2. If you are frying, the thattai has to be fried in a medium low flame, as it will help for even cooking. Heat oil in a pan
  3. When the oil becomes hot gently put the thattai to the oil. Cook till the hissing sound of oil subsides
  4. I used the store-bought rice flour. Alternatively you can wash and soak the raw rice for 1/2 hours and dry them in a cloth till moisture completely dries, and grind them into fine powder
  5. Roasted gram flour (pottukadalai flour) can be used instead of urad dal flour
