Thattai (Indian food)

Thattai is a popular snack from the South Indian regions of India and in Sri Lanka.

Typically made for festivals and holidays such as Krishna Jayanthi and Deepavali, this treat can also consumed throughout the year.

[3] Thattai can be bought in specialty sweets and bakery shops, but many choose to make the delicious treat at home.

Ingredients can vary as the snack differs in texture and taste across South Indian regions.

[2] Thattai Vadai is also popular among the Sri Lankan Tamil community, where it is known as Paruthithurai Vadai, named after the northernmost Sri Lankan village Paruthithurai (also referred to as Point Pedro) where the snack originated.
