Cheesy Crispies

Lockdown 2020 found men and women in their homes, kids away from school and the work from home culture found its way in.

Stay at home meant indulging in comfort foods. 

Now with near normalcy restored we oldies are finding time to visit neighbours and friends for a quick cup of tea. Not easy sipping tea by donning the mask on.

I was recently invited for house warming tea by my new neighbours. The efficent young lady laid out some tea snacks prepared by her. We were a very countable number of guests.

I particularly liked one snack...I will call it crispies.

I finally got down to making my own version and so I christened it..

Cheesy Crispies:

Here's how it goes:

What you'll need:

Refined flour : 1 cup

Whole wheat flour: 1 cup

Butter/ cooking oil/ Ghee 3/4 cup

Curry leaves) /mixed herbs/ oregano/ dried Fenugreek etc

Salt to taste

Chilly flakes

Baking powder 1 level tsp

Roasted cumin if you feel like it.

Grated cheese

How it's done:

• Rub butter/ oil into the flour till it holds shape.
• Add salt, chilly flakes, herbs , whatever you like.
• With some warm water knead into a soft pliable dough.
• Roll out ,not to thin

Cut shapes round ,diamond, strips.

Let your imagination take over,

Now you could shallow fry ,air fry or bake by preheating your oven to 180deg

Bake for about 20 minutes.

Cool and bottle.

These are little temptations I often indulge in.
