I have posted the traditional recipe of namak pare using wheat and plain flour. Using these flours, yields a crisp and crunchy textured namak pare. However, we all have concerns about using maida due to its indigestion and filling nature. Hence, I was getting a lot of emails for an alternate version from my readers. Sooji or semolina is the best alternate version and also yields a crisp namak pare. Moreover, I have fried these using oil, which is the preferred way, but you may also use the oven to bake these. I personally feel snacks get crispier and tastier when deep-fried, but baking in the oven can be a healthy option. Do try this variant of namak pare using semolina and serve it for different occasions with your friends and family.

Furthermore, some more related and important tips, suggestions, and variants to the suji ke namak pare recipe. Firstly, To get the best texture, I would recommend using sooji (semolina flour). The finished product will be heavier and dense if the semolina is coarse. In addition, ensure all the ingredients are distributed evenly by thoroughly combining the dough. Secondly, for crispier Namak Pare, roll out the dough as thinly as possible, yet make sure it will hold its shape. Avoid crowding the pan when frying the Namak Pare in heated oil over medium-high heat. Fry till crispy and golden. Lastly, if preferred, add more salt or additional spices to the Namak Pare before serving. To keep their crispness, Namak Pare should be kept after cooling in an airtight container.
