Tippri

Tippri is a traditional Indian dish originating from the state of Karnataka. It is a popular street food and is often served as a snack or a light meal. The dish consists of a crispy, flaky pastry filled with a mixture of spiced potatoes and green chilies. The pastry is made from a dough of all-purpose flour, water, and a pinch of salt, which is then rolled out thinly and cut into squares or rectangles. The filling is prepared by sautéing diced potatoes with green chilies, turmeric, red chili powder, and other spices until the potatoes are tender. This filling is then placed in the center of each pastry square, and the edges are folded over to create a pocket. The tippri is then deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. It is typically served with green chutney or tamarind chutney to balance the spiciness of the dish. Tippri is a popular snack in Karnataka and is often enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. It is a simple yet delicious dish that showcases the flavors and culinary traditions of the region.
