Description
Jeera Khari is a savory puff pastry snack that features the addition of cumin seeds, adding a distinct flavor and aroma to the traditional Khari. The pastry is made using a laminated dough technique, where layers of butter or ghee are folded into the dough multiple times to create a flaky and crispy texture.
Ingredients:
All-purpose flour
Butter or ghee
Cumin seeds (jeera)
Salt
Water
To prepare Jeera Khari, the dough is first made by combining all-purpose flour, salt, and water to form a smooth and elastic dough. Cumin seeds are then mixed into the dough to evenly distribute the flavor throughout.
The dough is rolled out into a thin sheet, and butter or ghee is spread evenly over the surface. The dough is then folded and rolled multiple times to create layers, with cumin seeds incorporated into each fold.
After lamination, the dough is rested in the refrigerator to chill before being rolled out again and shaped into desired forms, such as squares or rectangles. It is then baked in a hot oven until golden brown and crispy.
Jeera Khari can be enjoyed as a standalone snack or paired with dips, chutneys, or spreads. Its savory flavor and crispy texture make it a popular choice for tea time or as an appetizer for gatherings and parties.
