Bangla Nimki

Today I am sharing a Crispy Snack with all of you - Bangla Nimki which you can enjoy with your evening Tea... You can add this to your Diwali snack list too...

Recently, I had taken leave from office... after finishing all my work at home, I wanted to make something and store it for my daughter Ria as she can eat them when she gets back from school...

It took me around 1 hour to prepare the Nimki... while making such snacks, one should have lot of patience.  I had taken some for my friends in office and when my boss - Prashant Sabnis tasted it he asked me if I had got it from Chitale... I told him that I take the compliments as it is homemade :).

Ingredients :

   

    2 cups - Maida

    1/2 tsp salt

    2 tbsp ghee

    1/2 tsp carom / ajwain seeds

    1/2 tsp cumin / jeera seeds      

    Water to knead

    Additional Ingredients :

    1/4th cup Ghee

    1/4th cup maida

    Oil for frying

    Method :

    Take a bowl,add the maida, salt, carom & cumin seeds and 2 tbsp ghee and mix all

    ingredients and  crumble the mixture well.   Add enough water and make a dough.  

    Take a large ball sized dough, dust in maida.  Roll it thin with a help of rolling pin.

    Rub 1/2 tsp of ghee on the rolled dough and also sprinkle 2 tsp of maida and spread this

    uniformly.  Roll this tightly this helps to get multiple layers in the nimki.  Cut this roll          into 1 inch piece and press slightly and dust with maida.  Roll to rectangular or square   

    shape and fold into a triangle. Prick this with a fork to prevent the nimki from puffing up      while frying.  Deep fry in medium hot oil. I made around 30 Nimkis from this mixture.          Enjoy the Nimki with a cup of Masala Chai...You can store this for around 2 weeks in   

    airtight container.
