After pressing with the cup, use your hand
to flatten the thattai further. If not the thattai
will be thick & will become soggy after frying.

Thattai should be thin & then only it will be crispy. 

Once oil is hot, please transfer the thattai & fry 

it till golden brown in medium flame itself.

 Enjoy thin & crispy Thattais :-)
