Cheese Namkeen

Cheese Namkeen







Diwali is just an excuse to cook and cook some more. It helps in guilt free binging. So do all our festivals for that matter. And why only the ones we celebrate. 

Food is an excuse to binge during all festivals to simply have yummy puddings and Christmas cake during Christmas, Sheer Khurma and meethe chawal during Id, Dhansak and Sali Murgi during Navroz. Festivals are just an excuse to make and share food. 

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 ½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp ghee
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Water to knead the dough
Oil to deep fry

Sift the flour into a big bowl. Add the salt and baking powder and mix well. Pour in the ghee and rub with your hands till the ghee is completely mixed. Add the cheese and mix well. Now make a stiff dough. Knead it well. Cover and keep it for 30 minutes. 
Dust the working surface well with flour. Heat the oil. Make big balls of the dough and roll them out real thin. Cut into desired shapes. I first cut long strips and then diagonal cuts on the strips to make diamond shapes. Deep fry in the oil.
