Whoever frequents the Iyengar Bakery has to be a fan of their Nippats along with all the other delectable goodies found there.
Nippats are usually fried crisp poori like snacks had with tea . They are made with rice flour and chana daal .
But today I tried out a healthier version with a mix of different grains and also added methi leaves and onions to it. I skipped frying altogether and dry roasted them on a Non stick tawa on a slow flame till they were crisp on both sides.
I found these nippats to be far more healthier than the traditional ones and they require minimum oil too. Plus the best part was that there was almost no compromise in taste and so I was mighty pleased with my experiment. So friends try this healthier version and enjoy your favourite snack guilt free.
