Namak Para is a crispy and savoury Indian snack often enjoyed with a hot cup of chai. Traditionally deep-fried, this version is baked for a lighter, guilt-free crunch. Made with wheat flour, refined flour, and spiced with ajwain, these diamond-shaped delights are easy to store and perfect for festivals, family get-togethers, or everyday tea-time cravings.
