Namak para recipe, easy tea time snack

October 11, 2018 by Raks Anand 2 Comments /

Namak para recipe

Namak para is an easy to make snack, perfect to go with tea, coffee. Just few simple ingredients and easy preparation for this crispy snack. Full video step by step pictures recipe.
Namak para is in my to do list for long time. The name itself tempts me a lot to try. I keep browsing recipes to prepare and end up thinking it is similar to the diamond cuts or maida biscuits we make. But there are slight variations between them, so I thought it is worth a try.

It turned out really good and I love the simplicity of the recipe. Even we make maida diamond cuts simpler way but I almost never make it. I always make this spicy diamond cuts version. Even make my sweet maida biscuits by adding powdered sugar rather than mixing sweet in dough.
But it was really a nice variation to and a dream come true to try shakkar para, so I am glad to try namak pare as well. This could be useful for many of you during this festival season 🙂
