Spicy Small Thattai (Rice Flour Snacks)

Steps

1. 1
   Sift the rice flour into a bowl to ensure there are no lumps. The flour should be fine and smooth.
2. 2
   In a saucepan, add 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil on high heat.
3. 3
   Add 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper powder, and 1 teaspoon of curry leaves to the rice flour. Mix well.
4. 4
   In a small pan, warm 2 teaspoons of ghee on high heat until lightly heated.
5. 5
   Pour the warm ghee into the flour mixture and mix thoroughly so the ghee coats all the flour particles evenly.
6. 6
   Gradually add the hot water to the flour while stirring continuously. Mix until you reach a smooth dough consistency, similar to chapati dough.
7. 7
   While the mixture is still warm, knead the dough well with your hands until smooth. Cover with a lid and let it cool until warm to touch.
8. 8
   Take a small portion of the dough that fits comfortably in your palm. Apply a little oil or ghee on top.
9. 9
   Roll the dough portion into a ball, then gently press and flatten it into a thin disc or oval shape.
10. 10
    Repeat this process with all the remaining dough to make small flat discs. The snacks are now ready to be fried.
