These cheese crackers are quick and easy to make. In just 25 minutes, I made a container full of these crackers that I can serve as a snack or a party appetizer. They are light, crunchy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
Cheese is a good source of calcium, fat, and protein. It also contains zinc, phosphorous, riboflavin, and vitamins A and B-12. Cheese made from the grass-fed animal milk is a good source of vitamin K and omega-3 fatty acids. I like adding cheese to my recipes because it is healthy, delicious, and kid-friendly.
Ingredients1 1/2 big cups all-purpose flour (maida)
2 teaspoons ghee, warmed
1 teaspoon carom seeds
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper powder
3 tablespoons grated cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Oil, for deep-frying
Method* In a large mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour, carom seeds, warm ghee, black pepper powder, red chili powder, and salt.
* Knead while adding water to get a firm, pliable, and smooth dough. Cover the dough and set aside for 10 minutes.
* After resting, gently knead the dough once again. Divide the dough into many big lemon-sized portions.
* Take the first portion. Shape it like a patty and roll it with a rolling pin while dusting it with the flour to get a moderately thin disk. Cover the other portions, so that they don't dry up.
* Using a knife, cut rectangular strips that are 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long.
* Collect the strips on a plate. Heat the oil for deep-frying. When the oil becomes moderately hot, put the strips in the oil.
* Fry them over medium-high heat to get golden brown crackers. While frying, turn them occasionally to ensure uniform frying on all sides.
* Collect the crackers on an absorbent paper towel. Repeat the same with the remaining dough portions.
* These crackers are delicious, crunchy, and flavorful. They melt in your mouth! Once they cool down completely, store them in an airtight container.
* They remain fresh for 15 days. Eat them anytime you want as an appetizer or evening snack. Enjoy.
