Namak pare or namak paare or namak paray is a quick snack recipe that is usually a common snack item in our households. Namak pare or namak para is basically made using maida usually called all-purpose flour and into it is also added semolina(sooji) which would give the snack dish a slight crispy flavour...
Namak Paare and shankarpali are definitely a good to go indian snacks item along with tea...
Other quick snacks recipes are chicken samosa, maggi noodles etc..
The snack recipe is very namkeen that is a salty one and an amazing recipe that is usually made during occasions such as diwali in north india.
There are many snack recipes that are made for diwali and this is one among them. I would love to include many snack recipes which are salty and sweet and that are perfect for occasions...
If one does not get what namak paray are then diamond cuts is the word that can be given to this quick snack recipe. I just like the bite that the snack gives us. The ingredients that go into making namak pare are so common and are actually very few ingredients.
Indians are carzy for snack recipes and there are thousands of snack recipes from scrumptious to healthy and are loved by everyone.
This recipe does not require a lot of time and can be made easily as the dough needs to be rolled like a chapathi and needs to be cut into diamond shape with the help of a knife or a cutter.
So glad to share snack recipes for my viewers which are quick in making and tasty too.
Variation to the recipe:
Here I have added sooji/semolina but it can be skipped and just made using maida, ajwain, salt, ghee and water to get a crunchy texture and great taste.
