Champakali Nimki/ Karela nimki
Champakali Nimki is a crunchy Nimki you could munch on anytime.This
different type of nimki is so appealing it will surely keep you wanting for more. It is also known as Elo Jhelo in bengal and karela nimki in some parts of India. Made of ingredients like refined flour, salt and ghee is a favorite among both kids and adults. Best teatime snacks or u can prepare this for festivals. Especially I made this for diwali festival.
Ingredients:-
1 cup all purpose flour
salt to taste
1 tablespoon clarified butter
1/2 cup warm water
oil for deep fry
Method:-
Take all purpose flour in mixing bowl add oil and salt, mix everything really well.
Add water in small portions to the flour and knead stiff dough. Dough should be harder than required for making pooris. Cover and leave the dough on one side for 30 minutes to set.
Later, knead the dough a little and divide it into medium lemon size lumps. Take a lump and roll it out into 6 to 7 inch diameter round and thin poori.
Now cut the poori into less than 1/2 inch thin strips leaving ½ inch space from top and bottom.
Then start folding the poori from one side to another side of it. Stick the ½ inch top and bottom properly to make both the ends pointy like bitter gourd.
Place the prepared bitter gourd shaped nimki on a plate and likewise prepare the rest of them.
Heat enough oil in a wok on low medium flame to deep fry the bitter gourd shaped nimki. When the oil gets heated, slide the bitter gourd shaped nimki in the wok.
Later, transfer the fried bitter gourd shaped nimki on a plate covered with absorbent paper. Finely powdered sugar used to make icing on all over champakali Nimki. Karela nimki are ready.
Suggestion:- if u wanna this in sweet then deep this fried nimki into sticky sugar syrup n then transfer sweet nimki on plate.
Thankyou
