Spicy thukkada is a popular Indian snack made from deep-fried flour crisps. It is typically seasoned with a combination of spices such as red chili powder, turmeric, cumin, and salt. The spiciness can be adjusted according to personal preference by adding more or less chili powder. Spicy thukkada is often enjoyed with tea or as a standalone snack.
This crunchy, bite-sized South Indian snack made from a simple spiced maida dough. Maida is mixed with red chilli powder, a pinch of asafetida, butter, and salt, then kneaded with a little water into a soft dough. Roll it out paper-thin, cut into small diamond or square pieces, and deep-fry in hot oil until crisp and golden. Cool completely and store in an airtight container for a long-lasting, spicy tea-time treat.
