Seriously i was breaking my head to make some different savoury snacks for Krishna Jayanthi celebration,while going through my pantry i crossed a packet of rolled oats which was sitting quite a long to cook as something, finally i decided to make some thattais with oats, to give them more aroma i tried adding a handful of mint leaves which i grinded as coarse paste with fennel seeds,cumin seeds,garlic,peppercorns and dry red chillies..This thattai tastes super crispy with a wonderful mint flavour and we couldnt stop munching them for our snacks..Give a try friends, am damn sure you wont regret for trying this crispy beauties prepared with oats and mint leaves..
