Diamond Chips (Spicy)

With simple ingredients, you can make amazing snacks. To make Diamond chips, the main ingredient is Maida (Plain Flour) which is very common and you can get in any grocery shop.


Ingredients
1 cup Maida (Plain Flour)
2 tablespoon Rice Flour
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
15-20 dry red Chilies
Handful of Curry leaves
1 tablespoon Ghee or Butter
1 pinch baking soda
Red food color (optional)
Salt
Oil for frying

Method

  • Finely powder the cumin seeds, also powder the dry red chilies separately.
  • Mix the maida, rice flour, Cumin powder, dry red chilly powder, finely chopped curry leaves, ghee, salt and baking soda.
  • Add little amount of water to knead into dough. Cover it with wet towel. Leave it for 10 mins.
  • Take a small lemon size ball and roll it out as you do for Poori, it should be very thin to get the crispiness.
  • Cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch strips and cut across diagonally again 1/2 inch apart. Separate the cut pieces.
  • Drop them in hot oil and fry. 


Note

  • Adjust the dry red chilies according to your spice level.
  • If you are not getting the diamond shape properly, then no worries, cut into small pieces as your wish. (But try to give it a differnet name:P)
  • Curry leaves plays an important flavour, so please don't try to avoid it.
  • I did not use the color, if you want you can use it.
