How to Make Thattai

  1. Mix all the ingredients and make a thick dough adding very little water at a time.
  2. Divide and shape into marble-sized balls. Normally, the store bought ones are bigger but I made them small so that I can use less oil while frying.
  3. Dampen fingers and gently the flatten the dough on a plastic sheet (I cut up the plastic bag in which I got the urad dal), to get a uniform disc of about 0.5cm thickness.
  4. Prick the discs lightly with a fork (to prevent puffing up) and deep fry till golden brown. Tastes awesome with some hot tea on Diwali, while chatting around the family coffee table with family 🙂
