Evening snack becomes a big stress especially on the days when the kids are less than 5 year old.
we really cannot introduce packed foods every now and then for their hungry cravings. So few recipes that children can have everyday that will be fulfilling and healthy is one such south indian recipe called ‘Rice thattai’.
meaning flat chips made of rice flour
Method :
- Take Rice flour , Roasted gram dhal , soaked split moong dal , Red Chilly powder , kashmiri chilly powder 1/2 tspn, Salt as per taste, Asafoetida , Crushed Few Curry leaves after frying in oil, Butter or ghee.
- Oil for frying. Prefer healthy oil for deep frying.
- Crush the roasted gram dal very coarsely with a whisk so it will be easy to flatten the dough. Mix everything well and roll it to a tight dough.
- Let the dough be not too soggy or too soft else it will soak up enormous oil while frying.
- Use a parchment paper, fold it into two, Spread oil over the inner side, take a small lemon sized dough, place it in the center of the sheet, use the backside of a wide flat bowl to flatten the dough equally.
Note :
We wont be using rolling pin here as it may lead to breakage and uneven thickness of dough.
The flattened dough need to be thick enough.
