Indian crackers

1 serving


Sift the flour into a large bowl, add cumin, sesame or kalinji, salt and soda and mix well. Rub melted butter or butter into the resulting mass with your hands, then pour in enough water to make a cool enough dough, and mix it for at least 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Then pour melted or vegetable oil into a deep cast-iron pan to fill the pan by two-thirds, and heat well over a medium heat. At this time, roll out the dough in the form of a large square 1 cm thick and cut it into diamonds or rectangles 5 cm long with a sharp knife. Then carefully lower half of them into hot oil and fry the crackers until golden brown on both sides for four to five minutes. Remove the ready-made cookies with a spoon and transfer them to a colander so that the glass has extra oil. Fry the rest of the crackers in the same way.
