Nipattu has always been one of my favourite tea time snack. For me Nipattu is not just a tea time snack. I have it with lunch, dinner , with tea, coffee and in between as well :). Basically, I can’t resist a box of Nipattu sitting on the counter.

Nipattu is a very simple deep fried snack made using rice flour and other spices. It is crispy and spicy and and is super addictive. It is perfect in this monsoon season and when everyone is at home and helping out, it is very easy to make as well. Hope you guys will try it out. The other tea time snacks or monsoon snacks that are my favourite are Mysore Bonda, Sabudana Vada or simple, crispy and basic Onion Pakoda.

Ingredients

1 cup – Rice flour 

1/2 cup – Fried gram , coarsely powdered

1/4 cup – Groundnuts , coarsely powdered

1 Tbsp – white sesame

2Tbsps – Red chilly powder or as per your liking

salt to taste

handful of coriander leaves

handful of curry leaves

Oil to fry

 

Method

Coarsely powder groundnuts and discard the peel as much as possible.

Wash and air dry coriander leaves and curry leaves and chop them fine.

Now mix all the above ingredients except the oil into a firm dough. Similar to roti dough.

Taste the dough for salt and spice. The dough has to be slightly saltier and spicier than you like as it will reduce once it is deep fried.

Heat the oil in a deep pan.

Make small balls out of the dough and using your greased palms press them and flatten in evenly. I usually make smaller disks.

You can used greased parchment paper to make the disks as well.

Once the oil is hot, drop the disks carefully. Let the nipattus come up and float and then you can reduce the flame to medium and fry till it is done well.

My tip to know that is done is when the bubbles stops.

Drain them well and place them on a kitchen towel to remove any excess oil.

Once it is cooled store in an airtight container.

*Make sure that the rice flour is fresh and good quality. Nipattu might turn out hard if the flour is old.
