Ingredients
Instructions
- Take a clean dry mixer and powder sugar finely.
- In a mixing bowl add maida, powdered sugar, ghee, 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 15mins.
- Keand 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.
- Cool down and store Sweet Diamond Cuts in an airtight container.
Notes
- Using cooking soda is optional...baking soda avoids the hardness in the biscuits.
You can use any roller knife / pizza cuter or even a simple knife to cut them into diamonds. - Make sure you knead a soft pliable dough not too loose. If its too loose then add little maida to get a tight dough more like chapathi dough. While rolling dust maida to avoid sticking.
- You can use a metal spatula to separate and gather the diamonds.
- As sugar is added in the dough, the biscuits gets brown faster so make sure to keep in medium low flame while fry.
- You can even use half and half of wheat and maida flour.
- You can even add a tiny pinch of cardamom powder or any mild essence for extra flavour. I love it plain.
