Maida Diamond Cuts with Ajwain

 

Diwali is coming soon !!! Have to make so many preparations for Diwali.  Lets start with Maida Diamond Cuts. Beginners you can start your snack list with this easy, crunchy, tasty recipe. 

This time I am making Diamond Cuts with Ajwain. 

Ajwain is good for health. Have a look at Ajwain Biscuits - baked . 

This is a good tea time snack. I am sure you just can't stop eating one.

   

Ingredients

1 cup Maida / All Purpose Flour

1/2 teaspoon Ajwain

1/2 teaspoon Salt

Water

Oil for Deep fry

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of Oil. Add Ajwain, Salt, Baking Soda and hot Oil to Maida. Add Water and make a tight dough. Knead it for 10 mins and keep it aside for 10 mins. 

2. Divide dough into 6 portions. Now flatten each ball with roller pin into a circle.

3. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter cut this  lenghth wise like stripes (an inch apart) and then cut at an angle to get diamond shapes.Don't mix up all these diamond cuts.

4. Heat Oil for deep frying. Once the Oil is hot, place a tiny dough ball, if  it raises immediately to the surface then that is the right temperature to add Diamond Cuts. Now place Maida Diamond Cuts one by one into hot Oil.  Fry till they turn golden brown. Take them onto an absorbent paper. Store them in a container and have for 10-15 days. 


5. Share your excitement and fun of Diwali with your family and friends :)
