Kothumai and kadalai mavu thattai (Easy wheat & bengal gram flour snack) - Preparation time 15 mins
I thought of making some easy snack during a rainy evening. When we were kids mom used to make this maida biscuits (both sweet and spicy). I enjoyed helping mom when she made snacks. I still remember those days when she used to make thattai, maida biscuit, wheat halwa, etc. I tried this one with the readily available flours in home. Surprisingly it came out well and my husband like it. I made in small quantity to try out. It will be good for 2 days max.
Ingredients:-
Wheat flour - 1 cup
Bengal gram flour - 1/2 cup
Ajwain (omam) - 1/ tsp
Salt - to taste
Red Chili powder - 1 tsp (you can increase if you want bit spicy)
Oil - 1 tsp making dough & for deep frying.
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Preparation method:-
In a bowl add wheat flour, bengal gram, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt. 1 tsp oil, salt, ajwain and mix well.
Add required amount of water and make a tight dough like chapathi dough.
Keep the oil in slow flame.
Make balls from the dough. Dust the ball in dry wheat flour and make slightly thick chapathi's.
Using a biscuit cutter or some sharp box lid cut small circular thattais.
Using a small fork make holes in the small thattai's. By this time the oil will be hot. Insert 6 thattai's (one by one and drop carefully in the oil) into the oil. Fry in low flame till the bubble goes of completely.
Transfer this to tissue paper (For me this snack didn't absorb any oil ).
When cool transfer to air tight box and sever. Easy to make and very quick snack provided flour's are available in home.
