Ragi thattai / kezhvaragu thattai

Lord krishna is calling.. Hope everyone is busy preparing snacks or neivedhyam for janmashtami which is tomorrow. I just made these crispy thattais using Ragi flour. Normally we make with rice flour or even maida.. But this Ragi thattai is easy to make and also healthy for eating. On the name of lord krishna , we consume snacks on this day. We make Seedai, murukku, thattai, Vella Seedai, palkova, 

Recipe for thattai :

Ingredients : 

Ragi flour - one cup

Moong dal - one tbsp( soaked)

Chilly powder -1/2 tsp

Salt

Asafotida - 1 tsp

Curry leaves 

Oil

Water

Method : 

In a wide vessel, add the above ingredients one by one.

Heat oil in a pan, once it is hot. Take a tbsp of oil and pour it in the vessel with ingredients.

Knead the mixture into a soft dough. Make small balls out of it.

Take a plastic cover or Ziplock and place the balls and flat with your palm or fingers to make thattai.

Place in the hot oil and fry.

Flip on both the sides and fry till crisp and till the bubbles reduce.

Remove it from the oil and place it on the kitchen towels to remove excess oil and transfer into a air tight box.

Yummilicious thattai ready for lord krishna!
