Aloo and Rice Flour Crackers
Traditionally, Indian savoury snacks used to be the pride of every household. The variety of snacks marked the experience of the home cook. Today, homemade products have dwindled because these snacks are available in all condiment stores. Unfortunately, such products are heavily adulterated. Make your own crackers at home so you can know exactly what your snacks contain.

Procedure
- Mix potatoes, rice flour, urad dal, salt, whole spices and baking powder together.
- To this, add a little oil and rub it in until the mixture becomes crumbly. This is to ensure that it crisps up while cooking.
- If the dough does not form an even mass, add a spoonful of water to it. Add as little water as possible because water will make the product soggy.
- Let this dough rest for 5 minutes and then divide into small roundels.
- Heat oil in a kadai or a wok.
- Grease your hands and flatten each roundel until it is about 2 mm thick.
- Fry these crackers in hot oil until golden and crisp.
- Your perfect tea time snack can be served with a cup of cutting chai or tea.
