namak paray



As i was looking for some healthy options for my picky toddler to eat, actually he is so difficult that at times he even dont eat what he eats daily lolz. some times he ask me for some particular thing and when i cook it for him he says ok i'll eat it tomorrow omg. but he loves crunchy foods like chips, nuts, skin of kfc's chicken lolz.. anyways back to the topic so as i was searching for some healthy options to make. i thought of making some namak paray / savory fried snacks. basically this snack is made with flour and available at almost every pakistani snack shops,usually it is eaten at tea time in afternoon. So i just thought to give it a try and also its a simple and short recipe can be made within half hour.so heres the recipe:

Ingredients:
whole wheat flour        1 cup
salt                              1/2 tsp
cumin seeds                 1 tsp heaped
butter                          1 tbsp
water                          for kneading

Recipe
knead it into a hard dough wrap in a cling sheet set aside for 30 minutes. now take out dough and make 3 balls of it take one ball on a lightly floured suraface and roll it into a thin tortilla, with a sharp knife cut horizontally 3/4" thick strips and now cut 3/4" thick vertically , you will have diamond like this. now deep fry them on medium heat until golden brown in colour.put it on kitchen roll for getting rid of extra oil.
