Kucho Nimki is a typical small diamond shaped cracker, and a very popular savory treat from Bengali Cuisine. Made in small batches in a Bengali household. They are a quintessential teatime snack. This is a classic savory dish which is cooked with just a few ingredients.
Ingredients:
- Maida - 2 cups
- Vegetable oil or ghee - 1 tsp
- Nigella seeds - 1/2 tsp
- Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
- A pinch of Salt
- Luke warm water
- Oil for deep frying
Process:
1. Take two cup of maida and add oil / ghee, baking soda, nigella seeds and a pinch of salt. Mix well and add luke warm water slowly to make a smooth but tight dough. It should take a 10 minutes of kneading.
2. Divide the dough into 3-4 parts, take one part and roll it out like a paratha (1mm thickness). Use a knife to cut long strips and then cut diagonally (ref to the video)
3. Heat oil for deep frying and then add the nimkis into the hot oil. When the nimkis turn golden, take them out of the oil and place on a paper napkin. Let them cool down to room temperature and you can store them in an air tight container for at least a week.
