Preparation Method: Sorghum Namak Para

Prepare the Dry Mix
In a large bowl, add sorghum flour, wheat flour, baking soda, ajwain, ghee, and salt. Mix well.

Knead the Dough
Gradually add water and knead into a soft, pliable dough, similar to chapatti dough. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.

Shape the Dough
Pinch medium-sized portions from the dough. Roll each portion into a smooth ball on a lightly dusted board.

Roll & Cut
Roll the dough ball into a disc — neither too thin nor too thick. Cut into diamond shapes using a knife.

Deep Fry
Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. Deep fry the namak para pieces until they turn golden yellow and crisp.

Drain & Serve
Remove and drain excess oil on absorbent paper. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
