Namak Pare | Diamonds Cuts Recipe

Easy diwali or tea time snack namak para or diamond cuts.

Author:	Priti	Category:	Snack	Cuisine:	North Indian
Prep Time:	10 Mins	Cook Time:	10 Mins	Total Time:	20 Mins
Yields:	2 Cups

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups - Plain Flour/Maida
• 2 tbsp - Hot Oil or Ghee
• 1 tsp - Carrom Seeds/Ajwain
• To Taste - Salt (I used 1 tsp)
• To Knead - Lukewarm Water
• Oil - To Deep Fry

Method:

1. In a wide bowl mix flour, salt, ghee/oil, ajwain and rub until oil/ghee is mixed well with flour and you get sand like texture. Add water in small quantity to form a stiff dough like poori [stiffer than roti dough]. Cover and keep aside dough for 10-15 mins.

2. Knead dough again for 2-3 mins, divide dough in 2-3 portion and make smooth balls and grease with oil, also grease the rolling surface and the rolling pin with little oil so doesn't have to dust with flour.
3. Using a rolling pin roll a part into a circle of thickness 1/4”. Use a knife or pizza cut and cut into diamonds shape or squares. Repeat same for rest of dough.

4. You can also cut the namak para in moon shape In a wok heat oil for deep frying, drop handful of namak para carefully in oil and fry until golden brown in slow heat so it can cook properly. Once done take them out in kitchen towel, and allow to cool. Repeat same for rest of namak para. .

Allow to cool completely before storing in air tight container.

Notes

• You can add black sesame seeds instead of carom seeds/ajwain.
• Add 2 tbsp of semolina/sooji to extra crunch.
• You can half of wheat flour and half of maida or make this out of wheat flour.
• If you wish sprinkle chaat masala once it’s taken out of oil.
• Always fry namak para in slow flame for even cooking.
• Eat namak para while it’s still warm and it’s taste great.
