#deepfried - This is a traditional Tamil Nadu special deep fried snack that is a must in most of the South Indian festivals, where it has different names. This popular snack is called nippattu in Karnataka and chekkalu in Andhra. They are also a great tea time snack / party snack. Try relishing it with hummus, mayo or any homemade dip for a change. Tastes awesome.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together all the above mentioned ingredients (except oil to deep fry). Add water, little at a time, and knead into a dough.
* Step 2
Divide into small balls. Place each ball on a greased plastic sheet and cover with another greased sheet. Press it gently with the back of a small bowl into a thin disc and prick all over with a fork.
* Step 3
Heat oil in a pan. Gently remove the thattai and slide it into the hot oil. Fry on a low flame till done. Drain on a kitchen towel.
* Step 4
Relish it as a tea time snack or as and when desired. I like to have mine with some hummus, mayo or any homemade dip. They taste great.
