DIAMOND CUTS

This is a very simple dish. You can make this and have with your afternoon cup of tea. These are few of things that were made as a part of the Diwali preparations along with an array of sweets and other sundry items.

Ingredients:

1 cup of All purpose Flour
Salt as needed
1 tbsp of Jeera seeds or ajwain seeds
1 tsp of sugar
4 tbsp of Butter
Water as needed
1 tbsp of Red chilli powder
Oil for deep frying

Method:

1) In a vessel add the flour, salt, sugar, jeera or ajwain seeds and red chilli powder.
2) Add the butter and mix well with hand so that the butter melts and merges with the flour mix.
3) Add water little by little and make a fine dough similar to the one used for chapati(not too stiff). If the water is of excess add a little more flour to make it less watery.
4) Make a lemon sized ball of the dough and roll out with a rolling pin exactly like how you would make a chapati. Using a knife make crisscrossing lines on the base, so that you get diamond shaped pieces of dough.
5) In a pan, heat oil for deep frying. When the oil is ready, check it by placing a very small piece of dough on the oil, if it sizzles immediately the oil is ready.
6) Deep fry the diamond pieces and your diamond cuts are ready!
