Method 

1. In a bowl, add rice flour, urad dhal flour, chilli powder, hing, salt, fried gram, curry leaves and 
    butter. Add very little water and mix all the ingredients really well to form a thick dough.
   
                          


2. Take 2 plastic paper / cling film / ziplock cover. Grease the inner sides of the plastic sheet.
     With a small ball of dough placed between the two plastic sheets, flatten it really thin.

3. Using a fork, prick holes all over the flattened dough. So that the entire thattai gets cooked
    equally well.

4. Heat oil in a pan.

5. Drop the flattened dough into the pan to deep fry.
    Flip over and let it cook on the other side.

6. Remove the cooked Thattai's to a paper towel / tissue to drain the excess oil.
    Once cooled, store them in an air tight container.
