Baked Oats Thattai Recipe

fitnfastrecipes
This baked Oats and Rice Thattai Recipe is a healthier twist to a popular Tamilian snack which traditionally is made using rice flour and is deep fried.
In this baked variation, I have incorporated oat flour with rice flour. And instead of deep frying, two healthier variations have been presented. You can either bake them in an oven or air fry them for a healthier twist.
