SPICY DIAMOND CUTS|DIWALI SNACKS RECIPES|SAVORY DIAMOND CUTS RECIPE

Savoury diamonds cuts | Spicy diamond cuts , generally my mom makes to put in the SOUTH INDIAN MIXTURE . But i am a great fan of this spicy diamond cuts we call as spicy biscuits, so my amma makes a separate batch of this only for me and makes another batch to add in the mixture. I like the sweet version of this diamond cuts too and i have posted a bit different version of  that sweet biscuits called as Shankarpali which i have posted last year.

PREPARATION TIME : 25 MINUTES . COOKING TIME:15 MINUTES YIELDS: APPROX 1 AND 1/2 CUP

CUMIN SEEDS	1/4 TSP
AJWAIN | OMAM	1/8 TSP
SALT	TO TASTE

OIL	FOR DEEP FRYING

METHOD:

• In a wide bowl, add the flour and add in all the the ingredients except oil for deep frying.
• Knead it into a stiff yet smooth dough  without any cracks.

• Cover it and keep it aside for 15 minutes.
• Take out a portion of dough and roll it into thin chapathis.
• You can dust with the flour while rolling. Use maida for dusting.
• With a sharp knife cut the rolled roti into diamonds. I used the pizza cutter.

• Heat the oil for deep frying. when the oil is hot, carefully take out the diamond cuts and place it in the oil.
• Drain it in a kitchen towel and repeat the same process for the rest of the dough too.

   

• You can either add it to South Indian mixture or can be had as it is as a Tea time snack too.

Note:

1. You can crush 2  garlic pods in a mortar and pestle and add to the dough to get a nice garlicky flavour.
