SAVORY DIAMOND CUTS

(Recipe source - Sailus kitchen)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 1/2 tbsps sesame seeds
1/4 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tsp red chilli pwd
1 tbsp hot oil or ghee
salt to taste
water as required to prepare dough
oil for deep frying

In a bowl, add the maida, salt, chilli pwd, ghee, sesame seeds and cumin seeds and combine. Knead the dough till smooth and firm..
Take a large lemon size ball of the dough and roll into slightly thick roti. Use a fork to prick the roti all over. Using a knife, cut the roti into diamond shape.
Heat a wide heavy bottomed vessel with enough oil for deep frying and once the oil is hot, fry the cuts on high flame.
Once the chips rise to the surface, turn heat to medium flame and cook the cuts till they turn a golden shade. Turn them over gently during the cooking process so that they cook on all sides.
All the frying has to be done on medium flame to achieve that golden color and crispness.
Cool completely before storing in an air tight container
