Take a mixing bowl, sieve all purpose flour / maida, and then mix semolina and salt. Now add carom seeds, fenugreek leaves and ghee and mix properly.
With the help of warm water, knead this mixture into a smooth and little stiff dough. Cover this dough for 10-15 minutes with a damp cloth and keep aside.
Now make 6 equal sized balls out of this dough. Roll them one by one with help of rolling pin considering that they should not be very thin in size. Now make long stripe cuts vertically and then horizontally of desired length.
Heat oil in a kadai /pan . Put the cut stripes into the heated oil and deep fry them on low-medium flame till they are golden brown in colour. Keep them for few minutes and they will be crispier.
Your crunchy namak pare is ready.

Adding semolina is optional. It just helps to give it a crunchy texture.
If you want to keep your namak pare for longer period, you can store them in an air tight container.
