Almonds N Cashew nuts Pakoda



      I made this savory crunchy snack last week for my kids.They like this kind of snacks more and also its better n best to give them home made snacks. Theres no restriction for them to eat fried items becoz they are more energetic n growing children ..they requires all sorts of calories...n also they wont each much only a few bites...so i wont restrict them in eating fried snacks,that too freshly home made.Equally give them fruits n vegs also to balance their nutritional requirements.

Ingredients
  1. Besan flour/Gram flour   1 cup
  2. Rice flour  1/2 cup
  3. Butter   1-2 tsp (melted)
  4. Chilli powder    1/2 - 1 tsp
  5. Curry leaves    few finely chopped
  6. Almonds + cashew nuts   1 cup(chopped)
  7. Ginger   2 tsp(finely chopped)
  8. Green chillies   1 no.(finely chopped)
  9. Asafoetida   a pinch
  10. Salt   to taste
  11. Oil   for deep frying
Method

  • Chop nuts in to small pieces and chop ginger n green chillies and keep aside.
  • In a bowl,add all the flours,salt and butter, mix well then add chilli powder,hing and mix everything well again.
  • Now add the nuts,ginger,green chillies and curry leaves...mix well and sprinkle water little by little and make it to a thick dough.If you want you can also add a pinch of cooking soda .
  • Heat oil in a wok for deep frying,when the oil gets hot turn the heat to medium and drop small pieces of dough in to the hot oil and fry them till turn crisp and golden brown .
  • Then remove from the oil and drain it in a paper towel and serve them warm.
  • You can store it in an air tight container once it get completely cooled .(I stored them for 2 days without refrigerating ).
