This Snack is popular in Southern part of India. It is made of rice flour and can be stored for days and so it is an easy alternative and comes handy when there are unexpected guests at tea time.
There are lots of savoury items to go with tea time and Nippattu is one of the best. Be it a rainy day or a warm one this goes perfect in any season. I am making these again after a long time.
