Equipment

  • 1 tortilla press or poori press
  • 1 deep pan for frying

Ingredients

  • 2 cups jowar flour
  • 1 tsp moong dal
  • 1 tsp chana dal (bengal gram)
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp hot oil
  • oil for deep fry

Instructions

  • Soak moong dal and chana dal in water.
  • In a plate or bowl, take 2 cups jowar flour, soaked dals, cumin seeds, 1 tsp sesame seeds mixed with little water, salt and 1 tsp hot oil.
  • Mix everything well and slowly add water to make a medium dough.
  • Divide the dough into equal parts.
  • Take a tortilla/poori press, line it with plastic sheets, grease the plastic sheets and place a dough ball between them and press flat. Make a hole in the middle.
  • Slowly peel off, then gently drop it in medium hot oil.
  • Fry both sides. For softer thappilent -> just fry a few seconds on each side and drain off.
    For crispier thappilent --> fry on med low flame until it becomes crisp.
  • Drain off onto a kitchen paper towel.
  • Serve with Sesame Brinjal curry or dal or Majjiga pulusu or Sambar or any curry.

Notes

  1. Instead of poori press, you may also pat it on a cloth very thin and then peel off and drop it in hot oil.
  2. Fry soft for immediate serving.
  3. Fry crisp to keep longer. Store them in an airtight container.
