You will need :-
250 g chickpea flour or besan 250 g plain flour or chapatti flour 50 g fine semolina 100 ml oil Salt to taste 2-3 tsp red chilli powder ( you can adjust to your liking ) 2 tsp sesame seeds 2 tsp ajwain ( carom seeds ) Oil to fry para
Masala powder to sprinkle on crackers
Red chilli powder 1 tsp. Dry mango powder 1/2 tsp. ( Amchoor Powder ) Garam masala 1/2 tsp. Chaat masala 1 tsp. Anardaana powder 1/2 tsp. ( pomegranate powder )
Method :- Mix all the masala powder ( to sprinkle ) in one bowl and leave it aside. Mix chickpea flour, plain flour, semolina, 100 ml oil, salt, sesame seeds, ajawain seeds and red chilli powder in a bowl. Combine everything and make a stiff pliable dough. ( like a puri dough )Cover with wet cloth and leave it 10-15 minutes. Divide dough into 4-5 equal parts.Make a ball from each part of the dough and roll into a circle on a flat surface with rolling pin about 1/2 ” thick . Prick the circle with fork so para doesn’t fluff up.Cut each of the rolled dough into half with pizza cutter or knife. ( if you feel like whatever shape you desire you can give like square or diamond but I preffered long sheets ) Heat oil in a heavy bottom kadai , fry the paras on a medium to low heat until brown.Remove it from the hot oil. Sprinkle masala powder which prepared earlier and let it cool to room temperature they will go crispy.
