Made with maida and pepper flavored, these crackers are crispy and spicy. Diwali 2017 sweet recipes are queued up in YouTube channel, Don’t forget to check it and subscribe.

This snack can also be made with wheat flour, mix of wheat and maida flour. But i would suggest making it with All purpose flour(Maida) as the taste is definitely splendid. Even though Maida is not healthy, Once in a while snack,  that too with freshly ground pepper and goodness of cumin seeds is good too. ! Have it tasty! Never mind about that the flour used. You wont get this crispiness and taste with wheat flour.
