Maida Peda Snack

I was feeling bored with eating as well as cooking...wanted to snack on something interesting! When I had called my mom that day she mentioned that my perima made this and she asked me to try it out.
My patti used to make this all the time....this was one thing that she used to make once a month or so.
You can make sweet as well as spicy stuff with the same recipe  - just substituting chilly powder with sugar.

I made the spicy one only this time....since my son loves spicy stuff to sweets! I made this sometime last week and it is already empty!!

Ingredients:

2 Cups All Purpose Flour (you may use wheat flour too)
6 Tsps Ghee
3/4th Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Red Chilly Powder
Water

Oil for frying

Method:

Sift the flour. Add the ghee and mix it well with the flour. Add the chilly powder and salt.
Add water little by little and make the dough (the way we make dough for rotis).
Make a ball (about the size of tennis ball).
Roll it like a chappati (but little bit thicker) using the rolling pin.
Cut it to desired shape. Take the pieces carefully onto a plate
Meanwhile heat oil in a pan. Check whether the oil is heated.
Drop the pieces into the oil. Turn them after few seconds to avoid them sticking to each other.
Take it out when it turns slightly brown (the sound of oil should stop).
Drain it in the kitchen towel to take out the excess oil.
Store it in an air tight container after it cools down.

(Note: You may make the same thing by avoiding red chilly and by adding sugar).
