Note:
- Always use freshly ground rice flour(flour mill or homemade) instead of the one available in grocery stores for good and crispy Nippattu..Riceflour quality is the key factor for the taste and texture. If the rice flour isvery finely ground(like what we get in grocery stores) it will result in hard Nippattu,if it is mill ground with a slight coarse texture they yield good crackers.
- use spicing as per tolerance.
- If the Nippattu are becoming soft , they are not properlycooked .
