A flat, round savoury cracker, roughly the size of a biscuit, fried until crisp. It comes from Karnataka in southern India, where it is a long-standing teatime snack, and it is also known as thattai.

Whole peanuts, sesame seeds and coconut are worked into a rice-flour dough, so each cracker has pieces running through it rather than a smooth surface. That is why it eats more substantially than a plain cracker.

Gently. Red chilli is present but well down the ingredient list, and the coconut and peanuts soften it further. The dominant flavours are savoury and nutty, with warmth rather than heat.

Yes. Crush one and top it with chopped onion, tomato and coriander for a quick loaded cracker, or serve them whole with a dip or chutney the way you would an oatcake. They also work on a sharing board alongside cheese and pickle.
