Equipment
- Air Fryer and Oven
Ingredients
1 cup = 250 ml
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts
- 1/4 cup roasted chickpeas (or roasted chana dal)
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or all purpose flour)
- 3 tbsp semolina
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 tsp white sesame seeds
- 1/8 tsp asafoetida/hing
- Handful of curry leaves
- 1 tbsp kashmiri red chilli powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp hot oil
- Water as required
Instructions
- Take roasted peanuts and roasted chickpeas in a grinder jar.
- Grind to a coarse powder.
- Take this powder to a bowl along with rice flour, whole wheat flour, semolina, cumin seeds, white sesame seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves, kashmiri red chilli powder and salt.
- Give them a good mix.
- Add hot oil and mix again.
- Now start adding water, little at a time, and start kneading a dough.
- The dough should be normal, so that semolina absorbs some water and dough turns tight.
- Rest the dough for 15-20 minutes.
- Take a polythene sheet and grease it with oil.
- Put a portion of dough and cover it with another greased polythene sheet.
- Roll it, neither too thin, not too thick.
- Mark cuts using a cookie cutter of the shape of your choice.
- Likewise make with the entire dough.
- Now you can deep fry them but we have air fried and bake them.
- For air frying, arrange them in a greased air basket, brush oil on them and air fry @180°C for 10 minutes.
- Take the basket out, turn the sides of each nippattu.
- Again apply oil on the top.
- Air fry further @180°C for 5 minutes.
- For baking, arrange the nippattu on a baking tray lined with greased butter paper or silicon mat.
- Brush oil on each one of them.
- Bake in the preheated oven @180°C for 30 minutes or until it turns brown enough.
- Take it out and let cool down completely.
- Nippattu is ready. Store in Air tight container and enjoy with a cup of tea.
