In the olden India there used to be sweet stalls...these are like small mom and pop bakeries which sold savory snacks and sweets. In the evening, during the tea time you could go and get hot snacks and all day long there will be other savory snacks which are great any time. Nimki, nammak para or I don't know the other million names this snack has, but these used to be my family's favorite.
So when my dear brother was visiting I found a recipe for this and made them. They were so delicious and so easy to make.
I will definitely be making them more often
Nimki (Salty snacks)
Ingredients:
Add the salt and the seeds to the flour and mix well. Add the oil and mix so that that oil and flour
get incorporated well together. Add water little by little until the dough comes together. Cover and set aside
for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan.
Roll the dough about 1/3 inch thick and cut it into cubes.
When the oil is hot, add some nimki to the oil and reduce the heat to medium and fry them until they become golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and enjoy
