- 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.

Thattai Recipe Preparation Steps
Thattai, a delectable and traditional South Indian snack, is known for its crispy texture and tantalizing flavors. If you’re looking to make this crunchy treat at home, understanding the Thattai recipe preparation steps is essential. Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients, including rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, and spices like red chili powder and asafoetida. The first step involves preparing the dough by mixing the flours with salt and spices, then adding water gradually to achieve a pliable consistency. It’s important to knead the dough well to ensure that your Thattai turns out crispy. After preparing the dough, allow it to rest briefly. This allows the flavors to meld and the gluten to relax, making it manageable for rolling.
Next comes the fun part of shaping and frying your Thattai. Begin by taking small portions of the rested dough and flattening them into thin discs on a clean surface or a banana leaf. Make sure to poke holes in the center of each disc to prevent puffing while frying. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the discs on medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy. Once fried, carefully drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Following these Thattai recipe preparation steps will surely result in a delightful snack that pairs perfectly with tea or can be enjoyed on its own. Serve your homemade Thattai warm for the best experience, and watch everyone delight in this traditional treat!
