Tried your recipe this afternoon and tasted absolutely marvelous with ginger tea! I added a teaspoon of semolina for binding and extra green chilies to suit my spicy-taste-buds. This is such a big hit with my kid and I plan to fry a lot more over the weekend. Great blog, will come seeking for more such yummy treats :-) Rainy day and so gloomy…what better than nipattus?

I wanted to try the baked version of these, but didn't want to use maida. So I made this recipe, added a bit more ghee and baked at 250F for 5 minutes, brushed with oil, turned them over and brushed again and baked for 5 min more. I then turned the heat up to 350F until they were nicely colored. As always, Indira, the flavors are amazing! You are my kitchen guru :) I just have to follow up here after trying this recipe out in the oven…

I see that your version uses rice flour as against all purpose flour used by RC. I'm going to try this too. I think this one will be even more crisp.

Your last pic with the cup of tea made my mouth water! I've tried baking Nippattu and it actually comes out pretty good - the texture is different but the flavor is just as good. Of course never as good as the fried version. Gosh this looks so yummy and so perfect for a cold day. Your last pic with the cup of tea made my mouth water!
