Easy to make crunchy, crispy chips using maida flour and chilli powder as the main ingredients. If stored in an air container, this stays fresh for about 8-10 days. It's a great tea time snack since this tastes more or less like potato wafers.
Ingredients
- Maida / all-purpose flour - 1 1/2 ( you can use 1/2 cup wheat flour and 1 cup maida flour)
- Cumin seeds - 1 tbsp
- Red chilli powder- 1 tbsp
- Asafoetida - a pinch
- Salt - to taste
- Butter - 2 tbsp
- Water as required to prepare dough
- Oil for deep frying
Method
1. In a wide bowl, add flour, salt, red chilli powder, cumin seeds, asafoetida, butter and combine. Knead the dough till smooth and firm. Test the dough for salt before preparing the chips.
2. Pinch a large lemon size ball of the dough and roll into slightly thick roti. Use a fork to prick the roti all over. Using a sharp knife, cut it into square pieces.
3. Heat a vessel with enough oil for deep frying and once the oil is hot, place the cut maida squares one by one into the hot oil, you will find the oil froth up in bubbles. Let the chips fry on medium flame till they rise to the surface.
4. Cook the squares till they turn golden shade. Turn them over gently so that they cook on all sides. Drain on an absorbent paper. Cool and store it in an air tight container.
Happy cooking....
