Pacharisi Thattai

பச்சரிசி தட்டை (Pacharisi Thattai)

Pacharisi Thattai is a crispy and spicy snack which is popular in southern part of India. This deep fried snack commonly prepared during Krishna Jayanthi festival. In Salem surroundings, this thattai is also called Thattu vadai. I also prepare the thattai with pulungal arisi and split channa dal powder but it won’t be so crispy when compare to this raw rice thattai.
