Nipattu/Thattai

One more typical karnataka sanck, just like ring murukkus/kodubale.
The only difference is that, this are pressed into flat plates and flavoured with curry leaves and peanuts.
Yum Yum....typically savoured with evening coffee.
But no coconut is added. Again this is available in all condiment stores and popularly liked snack.

Ingredients:
Rice Flour - 2 cups,
Roasted Gram Powder - 1/2 cup,
Red Chilly Powder - 2 teaspoon,
Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon(optional),
Peanuts - 1/2 cup crushed,
Curry Leaves - 20,
Asafoetida - a fat pinch,
Salt,
Hot Oil - 1 tablespoon,
Oil to fry.



Method:
Mix all the ingredients, except oil to fry.
Make sure that the oil added to the flour is right enough.
After mixing all the ingredients, if you can make a ball of the flour, then the consistency is right.
Or if the ball breaks, add a little more of oil and adjust the consistency.
Take a little flour at a time and mix with water to make a stiff dough.
Knead well ,as there are no cracks.
Heat oil.
Press the dough to equally sized, your palm sized roundels.
Deep fry in medium hot oil.
Turn the sides to ensure even cooking and fry until crisp.
Drain the excess oil on a tissue and serve with hot coffee.
