KHUDMA

Ingredients :

Maida 1 cup
Kalajeera 2 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil as required (lukewarm to knead the dough) + to deep fry
Water as required to make the dough.

Method :

Take maida, kala jeera and salt in a bowl. Add lukewarm oil to it. 1 tbsp at a time and mix well. When you press the mixture in your palm and it retains it’s shape, that’s when you know it’s done. Now add as much water as required to make a dough. Make balls out of the dough. Roll each ball with a rolling pin and make a circle. It should be a thick one. Now make horizontal cuts all through with a knife .Then make vertical cuts. You would get a diamond shape. Deep fry them till golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and let it cool. Serve it with tea or as snacks along with shakes.

PN : You can store these in an airtight container for a week or two.
