Recipe for Snacks – Nipattu
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Number of Nippattus: 10-12
Ingredients:
Plain flour 1 cup
Puffed gram (phutana or dalia) flour ¼ cup
Whole dalia 1/2 tbsp
Green chillies crushed 5-6
Coriander finely chopped 1/2 tbsp.
Sesame seeds 1 tsp.
Peanuts coarsely crushed 10-12
Red chili powder 1/2 tsp.
Oil 2 tbsp.
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry
Procedure:
Mix all the ingredients excluding oil. In order to make a pliable dough add very little water each time.
Grease one side of each 2 4"x4" squares of polythene (cut and use a clean milk bag). Heat oil in a pan.
Make pingpong sized round balls from the dough and place on the greased side of the polythene.
Cover with other sheet, greased side down and press with a flat surface similar to that of the bottom of a heavy steel container. Remove carefully and fry in oil on low/medium heat till golden and crisp.
Fry few at a time.
Note: Add little oil to the cracker if you find it to be too hard.
Add some rice flour and knead the dough again if you find the ball is breaking in the oil. |
