Recipe for Kaju Masala Namkeen

Today, I’m going to make Kaju Masala Namkeen. For this recipe, I’ve taken 2 cups of semolina (sooji). I’ll be making the namak pare using semolina instead of wheat flour. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 cups of semolina
• 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
• 2-3 tablespoons ghee
• 1 tablespoon wheat flour
• Refined oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Semolina:
   • Take a mixer jar and add the semolina.
   • Add salt to taste.
   • Grind the semolina in the mixer until it becomes a fine powder.
   • Transfer the powdered semolina to a large bowl.
2. Make the Dough:
   • Gradually add water to the semolina powder, just as you would when making wheat flour dough.
   • Mix it well, adding water little by little, until a smooth dough forms.
   • Add 1 teaspoon of refined oil to the dough and mix well.
   • Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes to set properly.
3. Prepare the Ghee Mixture:
   • In a small bowl, mix the ghee with the wheat flour.
   • Stir well to combine and set aside.
4. Roll the Dough:
   • After the dough has rested, divide it into two equal parts.
   • Take one part and divide it further into three portions, rolling each portion into a ball.
   • Roll out each ball into a flat, round shape, similar to rolling out roti or paratha. The thickness should be slightly thicker than a roti.
5. Layer the Dough:
   • Take one rolled dough and spread the ghee mixture evenly over it.
   • Place the second rolled dough on top and spread more ghee mixture.
   • Place the third rolled dough on top and roll out the layered dough to make it thinner.
6. Cut and Shape:
   • Use a bottle cap or a similar round cutter to cut the rolled dough into cashew-shaped pieces.
   • Continue cutting until all the dough is used.
7. Fry the Namkeen:
   • Heat refined oil in a pan for frying.
   • Once the oil is hot, fry the cut pieces until they turn golden brown on both sides.
   • Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
8. Season the Namkeen:
   • Sprinkle red chili powder and chaat masala over the fried pieces while they are still hot.
   • Mix well to coat evenly.

Your delicious Kaju Masala Namkeen is ready to be served. Enjoy this tasty and healthy snack with your family!
