Even if I try to plan ahead and post a couple of special recipes for the festivals, it somehow never happen to me. Though starting thinking about the upcoming Gokulashtami festival 15 days back, I managed to post only this one new😅. Glad I could update my old thattai post too with video earlier.

I wanted to make mint thattai and post, but thought instead of repeating the same, I would post this nippattu version after getting tempted by this video. So made this tweaked version and it turned out really awesome. To be honest, somehow had a thought, nippattu are dry, hard snack (kind of the anjaneyar vadai’s texture). Never tasted one, but had that idea. So the result was super surprising texture for me, that, I immediately gave it to Vj and Aj for tasting. They loved it too!

I tried a version of seedai last week for blog post, but results weren’t satisfying, skipped posting. Glad this turned out good 😄 Check out my Gokulashtami recipes and other details in this post. Since it’s weekday, some of your might be working, some may have more time in contrast. Just choose the recipes accordingly and keeping up the festive mood instead of stressing yourself.

  • Use a small lid to cut out form the spread sheet of dough. Take off the excess parts and incorporate it to the remaining dough.

Notes

  • Suggest to roll and cut out instead of dividing the dough and flattening with hands.
  • Roast maida thoroughly. You can add sesame seeds, roasted coconut gratings or kopra to the dough.
  • You can skip mint and make plain nippattu with same recipe. Instead of mint, use few curry leaves.
  • If you do not prick with fork, it puffs and traps oil inside. So never skip it.
  • Oil should be hot while dropping the nippattu in oil. Otherwise it might dissolve in oil.
  • Please stick to the measurements and ingredients. If you add more of any it will be drinking too much oil.
  • Do not skip maida as it binds the dough together.
