Mix Dry Ingredients: Take a large flat plate and combine 2 cups of refined flour (maida), 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ajwain (carom seeds), and 2 tablespoons of ghee (clarified butter). 2. Rub Ingredients: Rub the ghee into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs. 3. Knead Dough: Gradually add splashes of water and knead the mixture into a semi-hard dough. The dough should be firm but pliable. 4. Add Oil and Rest: Apply a bit of oil to the dough, lightly knead it, and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Shaping and Cutting: 1. Roll Dough: After resting, take a portion of the dough and roll it out into a thick flat circle, similar to the thickness of parathas. 2. Cut Shapes: Trim the edges to form a rectangle or square shape. Then, cut the dough vertically into strips and further diagonally to create rhombus-shaped namak paras. 3. Separate Pieces: Gently separate the namak paras or lightly scrape them with a knife to ensure they are individual pieces. Deep Frying: 1. Heat Oil: Heat oil in a deep frying pan to medium temperature. 2. Fry Namak Paras: Fry the namak paras in batches on medium heat until they turn light golden brown. 3. Increase Heat: Once they are light golden, increase the flame slightly and fry them again until they become golden brown and crisp. 4. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried namak paras from the oil and place them on a tissue paper-lined plate to drain excess oil. Seasoning: Divide the fried namak paras into three bowls and prepare Seasonings. For Kali Mirch Namak Para: In one bowl, mix chaat masala and black pepper powder. Toss the namak paras in this mixture until they are well coated. For Lal Mirch Namak Para: In another bowl, combine chaat masala and red chilli powder. Toss the namak paras in this mixture until evenly coated. For Kasoori Methi Namak Para: In the third bowl, mix chaat masala and kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves) powder. Toss the namak paras in this mixture until coated evenly. Serving: Serve the seasoned namak paras as a crispy and flavorful snack alongside tea or as a munchy snack during gatherings or festivals. This simple method yields delicious and crunchy Namak Paras with three different seasoning variations.
