Rice Flour - 2 cups
Urad Dhal Flour - 1/8 cup
Pottukadalai (Split Roast Gram Dal) - 1/2 cup
Chana Dal - 1.5 tbsp
Butter - 1.5 tbsp
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Hing(Perungayam) - a pinch
Curry leaves - few torn into pieces
White Sesame Seeds - 1/2 tbsp 
Water - as needed

Salt- to taste

Method:

1. Dry roast rice flour for 2-3mins. Set aside. Then dry roast urad dhal flour for 3mins. Set aside. Soak channa dal in water till immersing level for 30mins. After that drain water and keep the channa dhal aside.
2. Dry roast potukadalai for 2-3mins. Cool down and grind it to a fine powder. Now in a mixing bowl add rice flour, urad dhal flour, powdered gram flour, butter, channa dal, coconut(if you are adding),sesame seeds,chilli powder, salt and hing. Mix well until all is combined.
3. Now add water little by little to form a soft dough. Be careful in adding water. Take a ziploack bag or a plastic cover grease it with oil. Take a lemon sized ball and flatten it using your palms first.
4. Then press it with your fingers till it is thin. Carefully take it from the plastic sheet and keep aside. Do this for the remaining dough. The more the thinner, the thattais will be crispier. You can also press it using the back of a tumbler. Prick the thattais with a fork to avoid puffing up.
5. Heat oil, keeping in medium flame carefully drop the thattais and seep fry until golden brown. Cool down, drain in a tissue paper and then store in an airtight container.
