pepper thattai recipe /mundri milagu thattai
This pepper thattai recipe is little different from ordinary thattai that we make,the difference is from the spices that are added. The spices are pepper,cumin and instead of peanuts I have tried it with cashewnuts. We can use home-made rice flour or can make from the store-bought one. The only thing is that the store-bought rice flour should be fresh. Instead of butter you can use hot oil to it and make this pepper thattai recipe.
If we add more butter then when we fry in oil it will disintegrate and the result will be a failure. While making thattai for pressing shapes we can use a polythene sheet or back of a vessel or a plate.Close the dough and keep till next set is done otherwise the dough will dry up quickly.It can be an excellent evening snack with coffee or tea. It came out as a wonderful crispy crumbly thattai. It’s an excellent bakshanam that can be made for this krishnajayanthi.
