Thattai - Thattai with Par Boiled Rice - Diwali Recipes

Thattai - popular and favourite snack for all of us. For this Diwali you can prepare your own homemade thattai. It's not hard, once you tried it with simple techniques and the result is perfect and you won't prefer store bought thattais. One of my favourite ways to make the flour for thattai and thenkuzal is to grind the idly rice and then mixed with urid dal flour. The grounded rice batter is easy to prepare and the thattais are wonderfully crispy.

The following are the instructions for the perfect thattais

1. Soak the idly rice for 3 to 4 hours and then grind it.

2. For a flavourful thattai add a good amount of red chillies, asafoetida powder and curry leaves.

3. Fry the thattais on medium heat for uniform cooking. Do not change the heat while frying.

4. Do not forget to add the unsalted butter. Do not add more butter because thattais will break down.

In the video I have used 1/2 cup fried gram flour and 1/2 cup urid dal flour. Both the pictures are taken on different days with different camera so the colour may vary.

Collection of Poriyal & Thoran - South Indian Vegetable Side Dishes for Lunch

Every day we prepare two varieties of vegetable side dishes for our lunch. Among those two varieties there must be a poriyal dish and the other one is kootu, aviyal or varuval. Varieties of poriyal dishes are countless with our seasonal vegetables. As I said in my poriyal or thuvaram dishes, we add the ground coconut mixture prepared with coconut, small onions, garlic cloves and red chilly or green chilly. This unique coconut paste is often used in our poriyal or thuvaram dishes. Some prefer to add grated coconut or desiccated coconut powder for poriyal dishes. I actually don't like poriyal dishes made without any flavours. For me, poriyal must have a mix of flavours with perfect textures. We usually precook the vegetables in a vessel (except for keerai poriyal) and then we saute it with the tempering ingredients and finished with our coconut mixture. If you find it difficult to precook the vegetables, you can prepare as you like. But actually pre cooking the ...
