A savoury snack made from spinach and best to accompany with any hot drink
Ingredients
- 2 Cup All Purpose Flour/ Maida
- 4 Tbsp Semolina (Sooji)
- 200 Grams Spinach/Palak
- 1/4 Cup Oil
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/3 Tsp Carom Seeds
- Oil For Deep Frying
Instructions
- First of all, blanch the spinach in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain them and grind in food processor to make a purée.
- In a mixing bowl, take all the all purpose flour, semolina, salt, oil, carom seeds and mix spinach purée too. Knead it to a semi soft dough with the help of little lukewarm water. Cover with moist kitchen towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- 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.
- Make long stripe cuts vertically and then horizontally of desired length .
- Heat oil in a kadai. Put the cut stripes into the heated oil and deep fry them on low-medium heat till they are little golden. Take them out on a kitchen towel and keep them for few minutes and they will be crispier.
- Similarly, make rest of the namak para with the same process.
Notes
- 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.
