My American Neighbors had comeover to my home last evening just for a chat about my trip to India. I gave them few Indian Handicrafts and offered some cookies + Thattai +Murukku + Tea ..
They relished Thattai and likened it to Indian Version of Tortilla chips..
What a combo of Thattai + Salsa..
Btw ,They asked the English equivalent name for them !!Can anyone suggest me a name for Thattai ,Murukku ,seedai ??
And, They also liked the Idiyaapam that i made and called it "String Hoppers"..Indian
brethren of Noodles !!

Rice cakes --Idly
you could call them crispies i suppose.....
how about crackers?
how about -- "pretzels without a twist"..
but if you are serious -- you got to talk somehow to a Food and Beverage manager in a hotel chain in India to see what they would be calling it....they probably have a name framed for it (unless they also put THATTAI in their menu)...
Thattazi - "OTTA VADAI" lol
Murukku - twisters
seedai - roasted balls..lol
Thattai - flat-ie
Murukku - Swirl-ie
Seedai - Round-ie
