Diamond snacks

It's been three months since my last post.... been busy with our Bangalore move. Also my father's demise left us with a feeling of immeasurable emptiness. We not only lost a great father, but also a great cook.

My kids call my father "Diamond tAta(grandfather)". When my kids return from school, the diamond snacks he used to make earned him this name. Now I'm happy to see my father's smile on my kids' faces. LOVE YOU APPA!!

Here is the recipe for this simple and crunchy snack:

Ingredients:   
  • Whole wheat or Multigrain flour
  • Oil for deep frying
  • Salt
  • Chilli powder

Preparation:    

Mix flour, salt and little bit water. Prepare the dough just like roti dough and make rotis.
Tip: You can use the leftover roti dough.



Take a sharp knife and cut the roti into horizontal and vertical lines to get diamond shapes.



Separate the shapes into a plate. Take your kids help if needed...they love this activity :-)


Take oil in a deep frying pan and deep fry the shapes until golden brown in color.



Take out the shapes into a plate, sprinkle chilli powder and salt when they are still warm. That's it...in just few minutes, crunchy snacks are ready to eat....
