Preparing thattai from thattai mavu involves a few steps to achieve the crispy, savory snack that is beloved in South Indian cuisine. Here’s a basic recipe to guide you through the process:

Ingredients:

- Organic thattai mavu (as per required quantity)

- Water

- Salt to taste

- Oil for deep frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough

- Take the organic thattai mavu in a mixing bowl.

- Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the flour into a stiff dough. The dough should be firm enough to hold its shape but pliable enough to roll out easily.

2. Shape the Thattai

- Pinch off a small portion of the dough and roll it into a smooth ball.

- Place the ball on a clean, dry surface and flatten it with your fingers to form a small disc. Alternatively, you can use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter and approximately 1-2 mm thick.

3. Make Impressions

- Using a fork or a thattai press (if available), gently press down on the rolled dough to create impressions. This helps in even cooking and gives the thattai its characteristic texture.

4. Fry the Thattai

- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium heat.

- Carefully slide the shaped thattai discs into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

- Fry the thattais until they turn golden brown and crisp on both sides. Use a slotted spoon to flip them occasionally for even frying.

- Once done, remove the fried thattais from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

5. Cool and Store

- Allow the fried thattais to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This helps retain their crispness.

Serving Suggestions:

- Thattai is typically served as a snack on its own, enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee.

- It can also be served alongside chutneys or pickles for added flavor.

Tips:

- Adjust the thickness of the rolled dough according to your preference for crispiness.

- Ensure the oil is adequately hot before frying to prevent the thattais from absorbing too much oil.

- Store the thattais in a cool, dry place to maintain their crunchiness for longer.

By following these steps, you can prepare delicious organic thattais at home using organic thattai mavu, ensuring a flavorful and wholesome snack experience.
