When we make the sweet maida biscuits, we make this spicy version too. I like always the spicy version. In between may be to change the taste I take one or two sweet one
. My mom makes this mostly like this with ginger, garlic and red chillies. Very rarely she makes the simple version with only chilli powder or salt. This is very flavourful. Perfect to munch on teatime! 
Spicy diamond cuts recipe
Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Category: Snack
Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 20 mins | Serves: 6 cups
Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 20 mins | Serves: 6 cups
Ingredients
| Maida/all purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Red chilli | 5 |
| Ginger | 1/2 inch piece |
| Garlic | 4 cloves |
| Ajwain (omam) | 1 & 1/2 tsp |
| Salt | 1 & 1/4 tsp (adjust as per ur taste) |
| Oil | for deep frying |
Method
- Grind peeled ginger and garlic,redchillies with enough water, until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, mix flour, salt and ajwain and pour this ground chilli mix. Add 1 tblsp oil and enough water to mix to a stiff dough. Keep aside for at least 1/2 hour.
- Again knead the dough after setting time and divide to equal balls.
- Roll into thin chapati and cut first into strips and then diagonally to make diamonds using a knife/pizza cutter.
- Use a thin spatula to take out the diamond cuts from the rolling board. Don't worry if it gets together. When you drop in oil, it will separate. But be gentle when you gather, while dropping.
- Deep fry in hot oil with medium flame and keep turning constantly for even cooking. When it is golden in colour and the bubbles and sounds ceases, drain it in paper towel.
Notes
- Ajwain and the ginger garlic paste adds a very nice aroma. The next day it works the best.
- If you feel 5 chilli is too much for you, you can reduce to 3 or 4.
- I would recommend not to skip ajwain/omam as that adds a great flavour in this. In case you dont have, you can add sesame seeds, but my choice is ajwain.
- you can use readymade ginger garlic paste and red chilli powder too.
- The dough have to be stiff and rested for atleast 1/2 hour. The more you rest the dough, the easy the rolling will be.
Cool down and store in an airtight container. The next day the flavour bursts the best. Enjoy as a tea time snack. I had with my favourite Ginger cardamom tea
