Namak para

Ingredients:
2 cups of maida flour(all purpose flour)
1 tbsp of ghee(clarified butter)
1/2 tsp of salt
1/3 tsp of carom seeds
1/3 tsp of cumin seeds(optional)
oil to deep fry

Procedure:
In a wide bowl add maida flour, salt, cumin seeds and carom seeds.
Heat ghee, add it to the flour and mix till it is nicely mixed into the flour.
Now add little water at a time and make a soft dough just like chapati dough, keep it aside for around 10-15 minutes.
Knead the dough for a minute then divide the dough into 5 or 6 equal portions.
Take one dough boll and roll it out into a circle( it should not be very thick or very thin), cut it into diamond shape pieces with the help of knife. Repeat the same process for the remaining dough bolls.
Heat oil and deep fry the pieces on both sides evenly till they are light brown in colour.(fry them in batches and on medium flame to get even colouring)
Remove them onto the paper towel and allow them to cool down  completely. Store in an air tight container.
