Ingredients

Wheat flour - 1 Cup
Maida - 1 Cup
Carom Seeds/ Ajwain - 1 tbsp
Cumin Seeds/ Jeera - tbsp
Black pepper powder - 1/2 tbsp
Salt to taste
Desi Ghee - 2 tbsp
Oil - 1/2 Cup and for frying the khurmas
Baking soda - 1/4th tbsp
Water - 1/2 Cup

Instructions

Seive atta and maida together and mix it well.
Add salt, ajwain, jeera, baking soda, black pepper powder, ghee, water, oil and knead a tight and hard dough.
Rest the dough for around 15-20 minutes and keep it fully covered.
Now make 4 big size balls of the knead dough and roll them to 6-7 inches flat disk.
Cut them into square pieces with the help of a sharp knife. You may give your desired shape to namkeen. I have made square shapes for 2 disks and kaju shapes for 2 disks. Kaju shape can be cut with the help of a bottle cap.
Heat oil in a broad and thick vessel/ pan on medium heat. Put the khurma pieces to it.
Fry them on medium flame both sides till they become light brown in colour.
Collect the fried khurmas in a plate on tissue paper. Likewise fry all khurmas well from both the sides.
Switch off the flame now. Spicy and salted namkeen khurmas are ready to serve now.
You can enjoy these khurmas with tea/ coffee, and store them in an air-tight container for about 10-15 days.

Servings : 9-10

Good food creates good memories and can win many hearts. Though basic cooking started in my Mumbai days, but being in Germany for few years, I started missing all Indian food especially street food. This has made me trying new and new dishes at home and even during the lockdown period in india, it has proved to be the need of the hour!!
