Whole wheat flour – 1 & 1/2 cups
Chilli powder – 1 tsp
Besan / Roasted and ground chickpeas flour – 1/4 cup (optional)
Salt – to taste
Water – as needed (to make a batter)
Cooking oil – 1 cup or as needed for deep-frying (i used coconut oil)
Place the wheat flour, chilli powder, besan and salt in a bowl. Add water little by little (until enough) and knead it into a dough. Keep it covered for about 20 minutes.
After 20 mins, knead once and then divide the dough into 3 to 4 balls.
With a rolling-pin, roll each dough ball into thin circles or discs but not too thick (just like how you make chapathi or roti).
With a knife or cutter, cut the discs into diamond shapes or small squares of 2 cm length. Keep aside.
Heat oil in a kadai or a heavy bottomed pan and let the oil become hot. Once the oil has become hot, put a handful of diamond cuts into the oil and fry till crisp.
Once it becomes evenly browned, remove the spicy diamond cuts onto a paper towel.
A spicy – savoury snack or a perfect naalumani palahaaram along with tea/ coffee. It is also light weight snack to munch on while reading books.
