Rice Flour Mathri (Thatai)

Take one cup of rice flour and roast it in a pan until the rice flour is completely heated. Remove it from the pan and let it cool in a bowl.

Once the rice flour has cooled, add salt, soaked chana dal, roasted grounded urad dal, chopped curry leaves, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, black pepper, asafoetida, chilli flakes, and ghee. Mix everything well.

Gradually add water to the mixture and knead it into a smooth dough.

Take small portions of the dough and place them on a plastic sheet. Flatten each portion with your hands. If needed, apply a little water to your fingers to make flattening easier.

Heat oil in a pan for frying. Once the oil is hot, fry the flattened dough portions until they turn golden and crispy. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
