Baked Thattai

Baked  Thattai :

Rice flour - 4 cups
Urad dal  flour - 1/4 cup
Butter - 4 tbsp
Roasted gram / Pottukadalai - 2 tbsp
Red chilli powder  --  2 tsp

salt to taste

hing powder a pinch,

crushed dry curry leaves

Sieve the rice flour & very lightly dry roast it , for a few mts without changing its colour.

• Now add water gradually, 1 tbsp at a time,  to form a soft dough. Take a plastic sheets and grease it with oil.
•  Take a gooseberry sized ball and flatten it by keeping it in-between well greased plastic sheets.  Use flat base vessels to press the thattai.
•  The more thinner the more crispier your thattais will be.  Prick each with a fork in a few places-to prevent thattai puffing up.

  * Pre-heat oven to 180 deg

• Brush little oil on both sides of the thattai...
• Grease your fingers ( to prevent thattai sticking to your hands ) and remove the patted thattais and  place it in non-stick baking tray.

 

• Bake it for 20 mts or until it is done.... flip thattais every 5 mts, to cook uniformly.

 

        Baking time differs according to the thickness of thattai.

·         Cool & keep in an airtight box.
