Making namak pare recipe:
Take one flattened disc and start rolling it into a big circle (about 9-10 inch in diameter).
While you are rolling, on other side heat the oil in a pan on medium heat for frying.
Cut into the desired shape using a sharp knife.
Once the oil is hot, add few pieces of namak para in the oil. Do not overcrowd them. Flip them halfway through for even browning,
Fry from both sides till it becomes golden brown and crispy.
Remove it to the paper towel-lined plate, so it absorbs the excess oil.
Let it cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Once cooled down completely, you can serve them or store them in an airtight jar or container.
Repeat the rolling and frying process for rest.
Notes
Instead of all purpose flour (maida)
you can use whole wheat flour (chapati atta).
Do not reduce the amount of oil in the dough to get the right texture of namak pare.
