Ingredients

  • Maida
  • Sooji
  • Salt
  • Carom seeds
  • Ghee
  • Oil

Instructions

  • Add 1 cup all purpose flour, 2 tablespoon fine semolina, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon carom seeds and 4 teaspoon melted ghee to a large mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients well using your fingers. Add a few tablespoon of water at a time and mix to make a stiff dough. Cover the dough using a kitchen cloth and keep aside for 10-15 minutes. Knead the dough again until it is soft and smooth. Divide it into 2 parts. Take one part and make a ball from it. Roll the ball to make a 0.25 inch thick circle. Sprinkle little dry flour if the dough is sticking to the rolling surface. Cut the circle in long rectangles. Keep the cut namak para covered with a kitchen cloth until they are ready to fry. Heat 4-5 cups of oil for frying in a heavy bottom pan. Once the oil is hot, transfer a few namak para to the hot oil and simmer the heat to medium low. Fry the namakpare on low medium heat until they are golden brown in color. Keep in mind that these will continue to brown a bit even after taking out from oil. Once browned, remove from oil on a tissue lined plate. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
