Crispy Wheat Flour Snack Bites

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, ajwain, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

2.Gradually add water to the dry mixture, kneading it into a smooth and pliable dough. The dough should not be too sticky or too dry; adjust the water as necessary.

3.Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 20-30 minutes. This helps to relax the gluten and makes the dough easier to roll out.

4.After resting, divide the dough into small equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a small disc, about 1/4 inch thick.

5.Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

6.Carefully slide the flattened discs into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

7.Once fried, remove the snack bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

8.Serve the crispy wheat flour snack bites hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
