Thattai

Drain the soaked chana dal and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, urad dal flour, red chili powder, asafoetida, cumin seeds, finely chopped curry leaves, drained chana dal, and crushed peanuts. Add salt and mix all dry ingredients thoroughly.

Heat the ghee until it is melted and hot. Pour the hot ghee over the dry ingredient mixture. Carefully mix with a spoon first, then use your fingertips to rub the ghee into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
