Kara Thattai Recipe

Kara thattai is a popular South Indian snack recipe made with rice flour and urad dal flour. Kara thattai is one of my favourite snack recipes and I usually prepare this thattai during festive occasions like Diwali, Krishna jayanthi. It is a deep fried spicy cracker recipe which can be made in less than 30 minutes.
We usually make a large batch and store them in a container during summer holidays or festive occasions. It stays fresh for 1 to 2 weeks. This kara thattai is a perfect homemade snack recipe that you can munch during your movie time or enjoy this thattai along with a cup of tea in the evening.
