Semolina namakpare|sooji ke namakpare recipe step by step with pictures. Namakpare also known as nimki or namkeen. it is very popular tea time snacks in India. It is also prepared on holi and Diwali.
I have prepared this Semolina namakpare which can also be said as sooji ke namakpare. Usually the traditional namakpare is prepared with all purpose flour or maida.
Their are two differences which I find out when using semolina in namakpare the first one is change in texture, maida namakpare are soft, crispy and flakey but the semolina namakpare is chewy, crunchy and crispy. The second difference is that maida namakpare puff up and semolina namakpare won’t.

2️⃣ Two ways to shape namakpare
I have shaped the namakpare in two ways. First one with the help of fork or you can also say pasta like shape and the another with the help of knife that is diamond shape.
For fusilli shape-
- Divide the dough into small balls, remember that the balls should be small so that the dough is cooked from inside when fried.
- Hold the fork straight and on the backside of the fork, flatten the small dough on the backside of a fork.
- Roll the dough from the backside of a fork and it’s done.
For Diamond shape-
- Roll the dough with a rolling pin.
- With a knife cut the rolled dough diagonally from left then cut it diagonally again from right and it’s done.
