Maida Diamond Cuts ( Namak Parey)

Ingredients : Maida – 2 cups, Sunflower dalda – 3 tblsp, salt, water

Method : In a bowl take the maida and add salt to it.

Now take the dalda in a pan and heat it till it is hot.

Pour the hot dalda into the maida mixture. Now mix well till you get a crumble texture of maida.   To this sprinkle water and knead the flour to make a dough . You need to make a very stiff dough. Let the dough rest for atleast ½ hour.

Take a small portion of the dough, make balls of it and roll it to thin sheet. With the help of biscuit cutter or knife make vertical lines and then horizontal lines on the sheet to get a diamond shape. With the help of knife remove all from the board and keep aside.

Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the diamond cuts till they become light golden brown. You can store for 2-3 weeks in an air tight container.
