Description

Namak Para (plural: Namak Pare) is a quintessential savory, crispy, and flaky fried snack from North India, often enjoyed as a tea-time accompaniment or a festive treat. The name literally means “salt pieces” (Namak = salt, Para = pieces).

• Appearance: It is typically rolled out flat and cut into distinctive diamond or ribbon-like shapes.

• Key Ingredients: The dough is traditionally made from all-purpose flour (maida) or whole wheat flour (atta), mixed with ghee (clarified butter) or oil, which is crucial for achieving its flaky texture (khasta).

• Flavoring: It is seasoned primarily with salt and ajwain (carom seeds), which provides a unique, slightly pungent, and aromatic flavor. Other common additions include black pepper or semolina (sooji) for extra crunch.

• Cultural Significance: Namak Para is a common homemade snack, especially prepared alongside its sweet counterpart, Shakkarpara (or Shankarpali), during festivals like Diwali and Holi.
