We make different types of snacks in our home.we make snacks like murukku, thattai, ribbon pakoda, omapodi, etc. We generally make thattai using rice flour. But I have made thattai using wheat flour. This is a crispy deep fried snack. To make crispy thattai, we need to roll it thin, otherwise the thattai will not be crisp.
