When we moved to Bangalore, we enjoyed different snacks of the region and one of my favourite among all was Nipattu but it was fried not baked !!
Nipattu is a popular snack from Karnataka . These are essentially deep fried flour discs that are soft to bite and crunchy at the same time.
I want to try a healthier version of the same and really enjoyed this baked version of nipattu, let’s jump to the recipe a.nd enjoy the snacks

I’m not familiar with this dish but it looks very tasty!
Never heard of it but as you know I love food, and I love to try new things so I am saving it, once I am back from the trip will try it out.
This looks like a great snack. Thanks for the recipe.
I LOVE Nipattu. How can a true blue Bangalorean not? I have had many versions of this – plain, with onions, tomatoes, carrots etc. I enjoy every version. Though I have never tried the baked version, iam sure it will be great and bonus is it is not gonna be fried! If you like Nipattu, you should try Maddur vada also. That is also yum.
Wow! This seems like a great snack recipe! Easy to make and a healthier choice too! Will try but emit the peanuts of course as our household can’t have those. Appreciate you sharing this!
This is something new for me. I will give it a try without peanuts. Hope it will taste equally good. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I have never tried this snack before and would love to try this baked version. The photo looks very appealing and I can see the crispiness on being baked. Will definitely try it out.
I have never had Nipattu. These look a lot like mathris. I really like that these are baked and not fried. I will surely try them out. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
My south Indian neighbor gives me nipattu. My kids love it. I never knew this is easy and can be baked . Will surely try and surprise my friend and family.
I thought it might be puri. Name and recipe is new to me. Love to try different types of food. Must try as it tempting and good option for evening snacks with Tea.
I too like some south Indian tea time snacks… esp. masala wada. Your baked version of nipattu looks tempting and ooking at the pics, you can’t make out that it’s baked. I’m sure it tastes as good😋
After checking the recipe what I can say is that its an ideal choice for evening snacks with tea. It looks crunchy and tasty and I will make it
