Diamond cut chips

Was looking for some easy snack to make and came across this in a blog. This was a easy recipe with less ingredients and easy to make but I found this time consuming.

Ingredients:

Maida – 200 grams

Chilli powder – 25 grams

Asafetida – a pinch

Butter – 20 grams

Ajwain (omam, powdered) – 10 grams

Salt for taste

Method:

• Take all the ingredients in a bowl and mix evenly so that the butter is spread evenly.
• Add little by little water and make a dough like for chapathi.
•  I made 9 balls out of this dough.

• Role it like chapathi. Try to make as thin as possible.
• Run a knife through it horizontally and vertically so as to create diamond shapes. (This was the time consuming part)

• Put these in a paper to dry.
• In a kadai, pour oil and heat it. Put the chips in the oil one set at a time. Even if they are sticky they will separate out in oil.
• The chips will be ready in a minute.
• Drain and store in an air tight container.

Tea time snack ready!!!
