NEMKII


Ingredients:
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup maida (Refined Flour/Plain Flour)
½ tsp Baking Powder
½ cup Ghee
½ tsp Carom Seeds (Ajwain)
Salt to taste

Direction:
Take a bowl; mix plain flour, wheat flour and baking powder. Add ghee/refined, rub in with fingertips to get a consistency and knead the mixture into dough.
Add salt and crushed carom seeds. Add ample water to make it medium-hard dough.
Cover dough with a muslin cloth and let it rest for some time.
Meanwhile, heat a seal with oil.
Then divide the dough into equal balls. Take a ball and flatten on the rolling board using a rolling pin. The dough has to be of thickness of 1 inch.
With the help of knife cut them into tiles of 2 inches size and do a cross cut. Each piece will be like a diamond.
Once the dough is cut as small diamonds, gently drop them into hot oil. Let it cook on both sides.
Namak Para is ready. Keep it in air for about 5 mins and serve with tea.
You can also store it for a month. Make sure the container should be closed properly otherwise it would capture moisture.
