Nippattu

Nippattu is a famous South Indian snack. This is one of my favorite snacks.

Ingredients:

Rice Grain: 1/2kg
Roasted Gram (dalva/Hurigadale): 150gm
Red chilly (Guntur): 8
Red Chilly (Badagi): 4 (optional)
Salt: to taste
Groundnut: 4tbsp
Curry leaves: 10 chopped
Dalda (vegetable ghee): 2tbsp
Oil: 2tbsp
Oil: to deep fry
Water: to mix dough.

Note: Badagi & guntur both are red chillies. The difference is badagi gives good colour & it is not much spicy. Guntur is very hot like other chillies.

You can also use rice flour instead of rice grains.

Method:

Finely grind rice, roasted gram & both red chillies.
Fry groundnut & remove skin.
Coarsely crush groundnut.
Mix well grind ingredients, groundnut, salt & curry leaves.
Heat dalda & oil, pour in to mixture.
Add water little by little till you get chapati consistency or rolling consistency.
Take lemon size dough.
Roll it round (3-4 inches).
Heat the oil.
Put the flatten dough in oil.
Fry till golden brown.
Remove it to paper towel.

Note: If it becomes hard add little more dalda to make it soft & crispy. This can be store for 15-20 days in air tight box.

Nippattu is ready to serve with tea or coffee.
