Servings2
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup maida
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1/4 teaspoon ajwain
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
- salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon chat masala powder or amchur powder
- oil to deep fry
Instructions
- First mix red chilli powder with little water to a runny paste.
- In a mixing bowl add maida, red chilli paste, garlic paste, butter, jeera, sesame seeds, salt and mix well first.
- Then add water little by little. Add enough water and knead it to a soft pilable dough not too loose not too tight, Set aside for 15 mins.
- Knead it again and divide the dough into equal parts (lemon sized balls).Take a portion and roll it into a thin circle. Dust flour as and when needed. Roll it as thin as possible.
- Using the cutter (you can use your pizza cutter or a simple knife too) cut first vertically then horizontally to form small diamonds. Carefully seperate them and make it ready.
- Heat oil and make it ready. To check if the oil is at the correct temperature, first pinch a tiny portion of dough,add it to oil if it raises to top immediately then oil is at the correct temperature...else heat the oil for few more seconds.
- Now gently gather the diamonds and drop in a sprinkled way, Cook in medium low flame - turn over for even cooking. Deep fry till golden brown and drain in tissue paper to absorb the excess oil.
- Repeat the process for the remaining dough. After draining in tissue paper. add chat masala powder and mix well.
- Cool down and store Savory Diamond Cuts in an airtight container.
Notes
- Mixing red chilli powder with water and forming a runny paste and then adding to the batter helps in even distribution and it will form patches.
- For garlic paste - just grind raw garlic to a fine paste.
- If you don't want the biscuits to puff up then prick holes with a fork. But I didn't prick as I love to bite the puffed up biscuits.
- You can even replace cumin seeds with ajwain (omam).
- You can even use a metal spatula to separate and gather the diamonds.
- Adding chat masala powder / amchur powder gives a touch and extra zing to the biscuits.
- You can even use half and half of wheat and maida flour.
