Spicy Diamond Cuts | Savory Aata Biscuits | Tea Time Snack

Spicy Diamond Cuts, a crunchy and tasty snack made from the aata/ wheat flour. It's one of our favorite tea time snack and can be easily prepared with the available ingredients in the pantry. 

Already I had a recipe of spicy diamond cuts made with maida/all purpose flour. This one that i'm sharing today is prepared with the whole wheat flour/ atta. 

ST is very fond of this snack, when he was a school goer, he with his sister & brother used to make this as after school snack and he recollects that they only used atta to make this snack. So after knowing that, i used to make either with atta or maida.

Both tastes equally good on its own way. If you're looking for quick tea time snack, do give it a try. It's crunchy and pair well with a cup of tea and also stays well for a week or more in air tight container.

Notes:

• Always fry in medium flame for even coloring.
• Instead of ajwain/omam, cumin or sesame seeds also can be used.
• The dough shouldn't be sticky, otherwise it absorbs lot of oil.
• To retain the crunchiness, store it in airtight container. It stays well for a week and more.
