Ingredients
 

  • 250 grm or 2 cup rice flour
  • 50 grm or ½ cup besan - gram flour
  • 1 cup + 4 tbsp water or as required
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • Oil for frying

For spice mix

  • 1 tsp red chilli
  • 1 tsp chaat masala
  • ½ tsp black salt
  • 1 tsp maggi masala

Instructions

  • Sieve 2 cups of rice flour and ½ cup of besan (gram flour). Mix well.
  • In a pan, add 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of ghee, and salt. Bring the water to a boil.
  • When the water starts boiling, lower the flame and add the flour mixture. Stir well.
  • Turn off the heat. Cover and steam the dough for 2-3 minutes.
  • Transfer the flour mixture to a large pan. Once the mixture is slightly warm, knead it to form the dough. Add 3-4 tablespoons of water and knead until the dough is smooth and firm for making namak para.
  • Take a medium-sized ball of dough and flatten it between your palms.
  • Roll out a thin, medium-sized roti. Do not make the roti too thick.
  • Using a cutter or knife, cut the roti into squares. Alternatively, you can roll smaller rotis and cut them into triangle shapes.
  • Heat oil in a pan and add the namak para to the hot oil.
  • Keep the flame on medium and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  • Remove the namak para from the oil and continue frying the remaining pieces in the same way.
  • In a mixing bowl, add 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of chaat masala, ½ teaspoon of black salt, and 1 teaspoon of Maggi masala. Mix well.
  • Add the fried namak para to the spice mixture and coat them thoroughly.
  • Serve the namak para with hot tea or store them in an airtight container.

Notes

  • The addition of besan provides binding and enhances the taste of the snack. Be careful not to increase the proportion of besan.
  • Sift the flour mixture to ensure there are no lumps before kneading.
  • Once the water starts boiling, add the flour mixture and stir it using a rolling pin.
  • The flour will absorb the water and become slightly moist.
  • When the flour mixture is warm enough to handle, begin kneading it.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and firm.
  • Roll out thin rotis for the namak para, but avoid making them too thin, as this may affect proper frying.
  • Fry the namak para on medium heat until they become crisp and golden brown.
  • Immediately coat the fried namak para with masala to allow them to absorb the flavors.
