Wheat Diamond Cuts/Thukudi

 

I am a snack lover...i can munch on deep fry thing anytime.I love anything spicy so is my lil one.Yesterday she started her preschool and she is soo happy.She didnt even miss me and enjoyed her half a day well.Today she happily went to school and played.To make her i thought of making something.She likes crunchy sncaks and chocolates.She is not into muffins or cake even if i made with chocolate.So i thought of making these and made this,after coming back from school she is munching on these happily and me too :))



Ingredients :
Whole Wheat Flour/Atta : 1 cup
All Purpose Flour/Maida : 1/2 cup
Ajwain : 1/2tsp
Jeera/Cumin : 1tsp
Chill Powder : 1/2tsp
Salt : as per taste
Hot oil : 2tbsp
Water : as needed
Oil for deep frying.



In a bowl,mix both flour ajwain,cumin,chilli powder and salt.Mix well.
Add the hot oil and mix as it becomes small crumbs.
Add water to make a tight dough.Close with a damp towel and let rest for 15mins.
Heat oil in a wok to fry.
Pinch a lemon size ball from dough and flatten it with chappati roller.
Prick with fork and cut with knife as diamonds.
In medium flame fry the cuts till brown and remove.
Drain in a tissue paper and finish with rest of the dough.
Cool and store in a air tight container.

Note:
Since i was making for my kid,i used minimal amount of chilli powder.U can increase.
Check the oil,by dropping a piece and when it comes to surface by 2 seconds its ready.
