Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 200 gms or 2 cup besan
• ▢ 50 gms or ½ cup urad daal flour
• ▢ 1 tsp turmeric powder
• ▢ 3 tbsp kashmiri red chili powder
• ▢ 3 tbsp powder sugar
• ▢ ½ tsp citric acid + water
• ▢ 3 tbsp oil
• ▢ Salt to taste
• ▢ ¼ tsp baking soda +water
• ▢ Oil to fry

Instructions

• Sieve besan and urad dal flour.
• Make a well in the center, add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt, powdered sugar, citric acid +water, and oil. Mix well.
• Mix all masala with flour.
• Now adding water binds the dough like paratha dough. The dough will be sticky so you can grease your hands.
• Cover and rest the dough for 15 minutes.
• Now dissolve 1/4 tsp cooking soda with 1 tsp water and add to the bound dough.
• Add little water in the dough and knead the dough till it slightly changes its color and becomes soft.
• Heat oil in a pan. Now using a star mesh place it over the hot oil, and rub the dough over it.
• Remove the mesh and fry the Tum Tum on low-medium flame. Remember the flame has to be low while you are using the mesh.
• In case you do not have the big mesh, use the sev press machine with a Star mesh or champakali gathiya mesh or plastic bag and proceed in a similar manner.
• Serve and store tam tam in an airtight container.

Notes

• use powdered sugar and diluted citric acid, so both will easily mix with the dough.
• dilute baking soda with water and then add to the dough.
• add water little by little and knead the dough till it changes its color and becomes soft.
• with a grease palm, press the dough on mesh or zara plate.
• fry tam tam on low-medium flame.
