Instructions
Take a large mixing bowl and add all the mentioned ingredients except for water. Sprinkle required amount of water and mix everything together into a stiff dough similar to how you would make for poori. I needed about ½ - ¾ Cups of water. Keep the dough covered and leave it to rest for 15 mins.
Make smaller sized balls from the dough. I got about 9 balls. Use a rolling pin and roll them into thin circles. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut small diamond shapes. Repeat the same for all of the dough.
Heat oil for frying. Fry the diamonds in batches until nicely golden brown. Drain the excess oil on a paper napkin.
Store in a airtight container and enjoy.
Notes | FAQ
- The dough should be stiff so that the diamonds do not absorb more oil while frying. - If short of time, you need not leave the dough to rest for 15 mins. If rested, you will be able to roll it easily. - Adjust the spiciness as per your taste.
