About Thattai

Thattai is a crispy, deep-fried Indian snack made primarily from rice flour, urad dal flour, and seasoned with ingredients like sesame seeds, cumin, and chili powder. Originating from South Indian cuisine, it is often prepared during festive occasions, offering a crunchy texture and savory flavor. While Thattai is gluten-free and provides some nutrients from the lentil flour and sesame seeds, it is typically high in carbohydrates and fats due to the frying process. Moderation is key, as the oil content can contribute to higher calorie intake. Thattai can be enjoyed as an occasional treat and pairs well with tea or coffee. For a healthier spin, some variations involve baking or using alternative flours.
