Namak Paare or the diamond cuts is one of the popular Indian snack and much easier to make. One of the snack most of us make especially during Diwali Festival. To the traditional Namak Paare, we can add crushed dry fenugreek leaves (Kasoori Methi) and make this delicious Methi Namak Paare (Methi Diamond cuts). Dry methi leaves add a nice aroma and flavor to the dish. So why not try this variation instead of plain Namak Paare!

Method:
- In a mixing bowl, add wheat flour, maida, semolina, pepper powder, asafetida, kasoori methi, salt and ghee and mix everything well
- Add water little by little and knead it to a smooth and stiff dough. Cover the dough and keep it aside for 15 mins
- After 15 mins, make big dough balls and dust each dough ball with wheat flour and roll it like a roti.
- Cut the rolled roti like diamonds and allow it to dry for 10 mins
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan. Initially the oil should be hot so that if we drop a piece of namak pare, it should rise immediately, but once you add the namak pare keep the flame in medium and deep fry till the namak pare becomes golden brown and crispy and all the bubbles ceases completely. If the flame is hot, then the namak pare will become golden color so quickly but it will be soft and not crispy. So keep the flame in medium and patiently fry the namak pare till it is crispy
- Allow the fried namak pare to cool down and then store it in air-tight container. The crispy and crunchy Methi Namak Pare ready to serve!
