Maida Biscuits(Spicy)

Another favorite snack , that goes well with tea .. Spicy maida biscuits!

Preparation time : Under 10 minutes
Cooking time - Under 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

All purpose flour/maida - 2 cups ( I used a 240 ml cup)
White sesame seeds - 2 tablespoon
Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Red chilli powder - 3/4 teaspoon
Black pepper powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Butter - 2 tablespoon
Salt- As required (Approx. 1 teaspoon should be fine)
Water - As required
Oil - For deep frying

METHOD:

1. In a vessel, add maida,salt,sesame seeds,cumin seeds,chilli powder,pepper powder, melted butter and knead it in to a smooth dough. 

2. The dough should be at the consistency of a rotti dough. Take a  lemon size ball and make it as a thin rotti. Now use a fork and prickle all over the rotti, so that when you cut and put it in the oil, the biscuits wont bulge and break.

3. Now using a sharp knife, cut the rotti in square shapes.

4.  In a heavy pan, heat sufficient oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot, add the diamond shapes and fry till they turn to golden brown color. 

5. Maida biscuits are ready !.. Have it with a cup of milk tea !.
