Kaju NamakPare- A crisp delicious fried snack made in the shape of cashew

Kaju Namakpare is a delicious crisp crunchy snack made specially during festival. As Diwali is around the corner so we all are busy making sweets and savory for family and friends. Though there are so many savory and sweets we can make on Diwali but few items are made every year like mathri , chivda , gulabjamun, chakli ,sev etc.

I make mathri every year so this time I tried making these cute little kaju namak pare . The reason for trying these are my Little grand son Aniruddh ,he is a fussy eater but he loves to eats cashews so I thought he may like these too .The kaju pare turn crisp and delicious and he loved these cashews too 🙂

The recipe is quite easy to follow  but the shaping do need some time and patience. The dough is made with refined flour and semolina. You can make with only flour if you wish. The spices are simple ,just added salt ,ajwain and some crushed pepper. You can also sprinkle some chat masala or chili powder after frying namakare.
