A perfect tea time munches enjoyed by every one!!






Ingredients :


Namak Pare:

Cover this dough for 5 -10 minutes with a damp cloth and keep aside. Make 3-4 balls out of this dough. Roll it with help of rolling pin. Do not make a very thin sheet. Cut long stripes out of this sheet. Again cut the stripes diagonally of desired length . Heat oil in a kadahi . Put the cut stripes into the heated oil and deep fry them on low-medium flame till it becomes crispy golden brown in colour.
 Crunchy Namak para is ready.

Optional notes:


I had added sooji to give it a crunchy texture. It is optional. One can store the namak para and keep it for longer period  in an air tight container.
