Diamond cuts

By -

This is what I call them because of their shape. I have used Sunira foods maida.
The ingredients
Maida-200g
Ajwain/carom seeds
Salt
Ghee -2 tablespoons
Water
   Knead the dough. Roll it out ½ inch thick with a rolling pit. Use a pizza cutter or a knife to cut diamonds of it. Should it stick to the surface just lift it off with the knife? Deep fry in the oil. As a variation to this you can put it in sugar syrup for the sweeter version of this
As for the end result it is quite hard and the sweeter version gets even more harder. Another option would be to mix some maida with besan in 75:25 ratios and try.I would give this receipe maybe 4/10.

Viji - This is my first time visiting your blog- great job on it! I just wanted to give you a heads-up...maida is not gluten-free. Its really very refined wheat flour. I saw that as an ingredient in your recipe for Diamond Cuts, and just wanted to let you know.

The maida I have used is made by Sunira foods. It is a GFCF maida made from Jowar. The word maida is a misnomer.It is basically to indicate it is super fine and feels like maida.Thanks for your comment.

As I keep blog hopping,  I am constantly  amazed at the wisdom, courage and fortitude of parents who have been battling autism, in their own way, and passing on their experiences good and bad.   All of it can be overwhelming. Some of these blogs move you to tears. One such blog that needs mention is http://teenautism.com/ .                                Having handled a child with autism for 10 years, here are some thoughts I would like to share.   For one you can never wish autism away. The complexity and the challenges only keep varying. The mother with a newly diagnosed child may want to know all about potty training, while I am out looking for hobbies that Ramam can pursue.   There are going to be challenges along the way. Secondly, what works for your child be it therapy, or if you are thinking of medication...
