Today, I’m going to make Kaju Masala Namkeen. For this recipe, I’ve taken 2 cups of semolina (sooji). I’ll be making the namak pare using semolina instead of wheat flour. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups of semolina
- 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 2-3 tablespoons ghee
- 1 tablespoon wheat flour
- Refined oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Semolina:
- Take a mixer jar and add the semolina.
- Add salt to taste.
- Grind the semolina in the mixer until it becomes a fine powder.
- Transfer the powdered semolina to a large bowl.
- Make the Dough:
- Gradually add water to the semolina powder, just as you would when making wheat flour dough.
- Mix it well, adding water little by little, until a smooth dough forms.
- Add 1 teaspoon of refined oil to the dough and mix well.
- Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes to set properly.
- Prepare the Ghee Mixture:
- In a small bowl, mix the ghee with the wheat flour.
- Stir well to combine and set aside.
- Roll the Dough:
- After the dough has rested, divide it into two equal parts.
- Take one part and divide it further into three portions, rolling each portion into a ball.
- Roll out each ball into a flat, round shape, similar to rolling out roti or paratha. The thickness should be slightly thicker than a roti.
- Layer the Dough:
- Take one rolled dough and spread the ghee mixture evenly over it.
- Place the second rolled dough on top and spread more ghee mixture.
- Place the third rolled dough on top and roll out the layered dough to make it thinner.
- Cut and Shape:
- Use a bottle cap or a similar round cutter to cut the rolled dough into cashew-shaped pieces.
- Continue cutting until all the dough is used.
- Fry the Namkeen:
- Heat refined oil in a pan for frying.
- Once the oil is hot, fry the cut pieces until they turn golden brown on both sides.
- Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Season the Namkeen:
- Sprinkle red chili powder and chaat masala over the fried pieces while they are still hot.
- Mix well to coat evenly.
Your delicious Kaju Masala Namkeen is ready to be served. Enjoy this tasty and healthy snack with your family!
