THATTA MURUKKU(CHAKLI)
A tasty snack that goes well with evening tea/coffee.
Ingredients:
rice flour-4 cups,
urid dal-3/4 cup,
chana dal-1/4 cup,
hing powder-1/8 tsp,
butter-100 gms,
salt to taste and
oil for frying.
Method:
Soak chana dal for 3 hrs.
Roast urad dal and grind it smooth.
In a vessel, mix the rice flour, urid flour, butter and salt and knead to make a smooth dough using sufficient water.
Add the soaked dal and mix well.
On a plastic sheet, after Smearing  a bit of oil , make small puris  out of the dough, spreading the portions using hands(call it thattais).
Remove and keep the thattais on a cloth to remove excess water.

Deep fry them, till they get crispy(Right frying is indicated when the foaming on the surface of the oil starts stopping).
Roll them over one or two times while frying, to ensure thorough uniform cooking.
When cool, store them in air tight container.
