Can I use dal flour instead?

Traditionally button thattai is prepared this way, you can use dal flour instead but the flavor might vary

Should I grind the cooked dal?

No, you need not grind the dal for the thattai.

Should I use homemade rice flour?

No, you can use store-bought rice flour. Idiyappam Flour is optional any flour should work.

Can I use carom seed?

I have used sesame seeds. Instead, you can use black sesame, carom, or cumin seeds according to your preference.

Can I skip butter for thattai?

A little butter gives the recipe a nice texture and taste. But if you are planning to make a vegan version, skip the butter and use 1/2 tablespoon of hot oil instead. Personally, I like butter flavor; hence, I add it to all my savory dishes, like seedai, thattai, and ribbon. Avoid adding more butter, as it will affect the murukku’s texture. Murukku might disintegrate.

What should be the consistency of thattai dough?

Make the right consistency of pliable dough avoid making it too soft or with a crack

How to check if the oil is at the right temperature?

Check the oil temperature by adding a small piece of the dough. If the dough rises gradually and steadily on top, the oil is hot enough to fry. If it rises too quickly, the oil is too hot. Simmer and adjust to the right temperature. If it settles down at the bottom of Kadai or rises very slowly, the oil is not hot enough, so increase the heat.

Shelf Life for thattai

Thattai stays fresh and crispy for up to 2 weeks. Always store in a clean airtight container. I prefer to keep them in stainless dhabba. Let the thattai cool completely then close with the lid.

Can I skip chili powder?

Traditionally thattai is made with chilli powder but you can use pepper instead
