Let’s start preparing this delicacy by listing the ingredients first.

2 cups of all purpose flour/maida

1/2 cup melted vanaspati ghee/oil

Tip:-Using Vanaspati ghee to make these namkeen snack items makes it taste really good and crispy.Also you can use oil if you wish to.

1 table spoon carom seeds

1 table spoon salt

Oil to deep fry

So, these are the most simple ingredients we need to make this delicious namkeens.Give it a try, and let’s go through the method.

Method

Take a container to make tight dough out of the ingridients listed above.Add all purpose flour , that is maida, oil, salt and carom seeds according to the ratio mentioned..Now dry mix all thegridients using your hands nicely.. Slowly add water to make a tight dough..just like this.

Knead the dough for 2 to 3 minutes using hands..Now put a frying pan on the gas in medium flame to preheat the oil for a good fry.In this period of time when the oil comes to the right temperature, take at least 2 to 3 tortilla amount of balls and roll it.the thickness of the rolled dough must be thicker than the regular tortilla..you don’t need to roll it perfectly because you are going to cut it into 2 inches long pieces just like this.

So roll the ball and cut into long pieces just like this..Those tiny carom seeds have an amazing flavor and comes out even more nicely after deep frying..So now the oil must be in the right temperature to deep fry the namkeens..you can try the correct temperature by putting a small ball of the dough into it..if it starts bubbling as soon as you put it inside the oil..its the right temperature, neither too hot nor too warm..now deep fry all the namkeens by adding into the oil..make sure to fry it into sections if your pan is small because the namkeens must be well dipped inside the oil to be perfectly fried.

Deep fry in low to medium flame until it turns into a light golden color.

Tip:-while putting the namkeens the flame must be high and then eventually lower it to get the right crisp, texture and color.

Now remove it to an oil paper to get rid of any access oil..taste it , try it and don’t forget to share with your friends and family.
