Indian street food

Nippatu is a crispy snack from Karnataka. also known as Chekkalu in telugu and Thattai in tamil. This is prepared during festivals occasions and are perfect to munch on with tea or coffee. Though Nippatu by itself is a scrumptious snack the street food vendors in bangalore have given it a new avatar. Nippatu Masala is one such chaat made with nippatu and some toppings added to it makes it so yummy. Another chaat which is very famous Bun Nippatu . a variation of the Nippatu masala. This unique chaat was invented by an street vendor in Bangalore, I came across a vlog were the vendor are making the bun nippatu.

I have been wanting to make Nippatu for long time, we have been buying store bought nippatu always. These are so easy to make and taste so delicious, My Nippatu turned out crispy from out and flaky from inside. I kept mine little thick so that it is easy to top with topping and have.I adapted the Nippatu recipe from Maliga badrinath book that I own, I just added some rava and maida to this for extra crispiness and some flaky texture also refered here . The Nippatu masala and Nippatu bun are My own version of making them. They turned out to be so delicious and perfect tea time snack.  I had to cook for a potluck today made channa masala in the morning and I was thinking what to do for N and this idea popped up to make Nippatu. I used the store bought haldiram bhel mix to make these but you can make the bhel from scratch as well.  Glad I found that there are chaats made with Nippatu as well and this was perfect to fit into my theme. I am so sleepy so I will stop my ramblings here 😀 ..
