Thattai Murukku / Nippattu
Thattai Murukku is a traditional crispy South Indian snack. We make this for Gokulashtami and offer it to God. In Karnataka this is called as Nippattu. This is a simple and easy snack made with rice flour and urad dhal flour. You can use the same dough that you make it for uppu seedai. But for this recipe you add red chilli powder to make it spicy. Only after I started to make this recipe lots of doubt came into my mind. I was continuously asking my mom and grandmom for help over phone. Thank you for their patience and giving me some interesting and useful tips to make crispy and tasty thattai murukku. Though I posted this recipe years back, I am uploading the video too now.Some tasty savouries to tryMixtureFulwadiUppu cheedaiBaked Fingermillet crisps / Baked Ragi crispsNenthrai/Banana chipsBeetroot murukkuRibbon Pakoda
