Notes

  • Cook only in low medium flame and adjust it while frying.
  • I took the short route for pressing and it sure was less time consuming also you could get perfect round shapes.
  • Make sure you press them thinner - the more thinner the more crispier your thattais will be.
  • Chop curry leaves finely so that it doesn't interrupt while pressing.
  • Make the dough a little loose else while pressing there will be more cracks.
  • Keep the dough covered if it takes time and the dough will become dry.
