- Urad dal flour - 1 tablespoon (Urad dal dry roasted and ground)
- Chana dal flour - 1 tablespoon
- Chana dal - 1 tablespoon (soaked in water)
Note: Both Chana dal mentioned here are also known as yellow split peas

- Chilli powder - 1 teaspoon or as preferred
- Asafoetida - 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt - as required
- Butter - 1 teaspoon

Preparation Steps
For preparing dough:
- Take a big bowl, add the three flours, Chana dal, cumin/sesame seeds, chilli powder, salt, asafoetida curry leaves and butter. Mix the contents well.
- Once it has mixed well add water little by little and knead it.
- The prepared dough shouldn't be too soft or hard.
- You can manage the consistency by adding a few teaspoons of rice flour or water as needed.
- Take a small amount of dough and try rolling it, if you can roll then the consistency is good. Add a teaspoon of oil to it and keep it aside.
For preparing Thattai:
- In a pan add oil as required for deep fry and let it heat at high flame for a few minutes.
- Take a piece of banana leaf/plastic sheet/zip lock cover, grease them with oil.
- Grease your palm as well and take a small amount of dough, roll them into a ball and press them flat in the shape of Thattai on the greased banana leaf.
- Do not press them too thin or too thick.
- You can use any small flat bottomed vessel to gently press them and get the perfect round shape.
- Once the oil is hot enough, lower the flame to medium and drop these small disc shaped dough into the oil, one by one.
- Let it fry, when it starts to float and puff up a little flip it so that it is evenly cooked.
- When the sizzling sound and bubbles have stopped you can take them out.
- Place it on a strainer or tissue to remove excess oil.
- Repeat the same process for the remaining dough.
- You can store these in an airtight container and it can stay crisp for over a week.
