Nimki

Nimki, also known as ' Namak para', are traditional North Indian snacks, made of white flour. They are very tasty, light, crunchy snacks that can be made anywhere anytime without any hassle. The best thing about this recipe is that it can be stored for a long time without using any kind of preservatives.

Ingredients
2 cup white flour
½ tsp kalojira (aniseed)
4 tbsp ghee
½ cup water
Oil for deep fry
Salt to taste

Method
In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, kalojira, and 4 tablespoon ghee. Now add water to it and make the dough. Keep the dough aside covered with a wet cloth for 10 minutes. Roll the dough into thin round chapatis. Cut the chapati with a knife. Cut into shapes of your choice. Heat oil in a pan; deep fry the Nimki on a low heat till it becomes a little brownish in colour. When golden brown, remove from heat and set aside on paper towel to drain oil and cool. Store in an air tight container so that it lasts for long.

Tip
Make sure you fry Nimkis on low heat. If the flame is high the Nimkis' will turn brown quickly and will remain raw and soft inside.
