Nippattu

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cup All purpose flour
1/2 cup Rice flour
2 tablespoon Semolina(fine Sooji)
1/2 cup Roasted Groundnuts (coarsely ground)
3 teaspoon Sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon Red chili powder
1 teaspoon Sugar

1/3 cup Oil
3 tablespoon Butter

1 Onion(finely chopped)
3 to 5 Green chillies (finely chopped)
1/2 cup Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
1/2 cup Curry leaves(finely chopped)

Salt to taste
1/4 cup Warm water or as required


PROCEDURE:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F for 10 mins.
2. In a mixing bowl add all the other ingredients except water.
3. Mix well, then add water slowly little by little to form a dough.If it doesn't gather together then add little more water.
4. Cover the dough and let it stay for about 30 minutes .
5. Lay a butter paper on a rolling board and take half of the dough and roll it to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into round shapes. Gather the extras , combine with remaining dough and repeat the same process.
6. Dip fingers in water while flattening the balls. This prevents the nippattu from sticking to hands. Prick on the circular discs with fork before keeping them in the oven.
7. Bake for about 20 minutes till golden brown in colour. (Check once after 15 minutes to check the status of the nippatu..Make sure you do not over burn it.)

NOTES:
1. Do not freeze or refrigerate the dough.
