Indian Foods: Herbed Rice Straws

Herbed Rice Straws

Today marks the 6th day of the blogging marathon and it's going to get over by tomorrow...Whew.. an entire week has passed just like that..Well, coming to the marathon, am posting for " from other blog " category. Yep, Today's recipe is from Priya's blog ,She made me craving for this snack on that day and the recipe is also quite simple.. Glad I tried her recipe , these straws are a real yumm.....

Ingredients :

Rice flour -- 1 cup
All purpose flour -- 1 cup
Herb Mix -- 2 tsp ( I used Mint, Coriander and Basil leaves)
Ajwain seeds -- 1/2 tsp
Pepper Powder -- 1/2 tsp
Melted butter -- 2 tbsp
Salt -- to taste
Olive oil -- 1 tsp

Method :

Crush the herbs using a mortar and pestle and keep aside. Now mix all the dry ingredients ina bowl and add the herbs ,olive oil and melted butter and combine well. Now add water little by little and make a pliable dough and cover it. Rest the dough for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven @ 350 deg F. Now divide the dough into equal balls. Roll out the dough (slighly thick --which i failed to implement) and cut into thick strips. Twist the dough strip and palce the strip in the greased baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until it turns pale golden brown ( I like it bit dark..)..

Enjoy with cheese , any chutney,ketchup of ur choice..

Note : I made thin straws and it was so flaky and crispy. U may do thick straws just like the original verison..
