Thattai a south Indian snack is very famous. It is made of rice flour. Because in the increase of sweet and snack outlets in India making of snacks at home has become rare event.
I remember my grandmother do all kind of snacks at home whenever I go to see her. Snacks done at home has a taste that one would not get from rich outlets. When I go for a family get together I wait for snacks done by my mom and her sisters at home. All above taste one gets the love of serving.
So here is one of my all time favourite snack Thattai. It is a snack made of rice flour and is deep fried. When i tasted, thought it should be a tough job making it, but when i try making it, god it is too easy.
