So if you are looking for an easy and quick snack that also stores well or you can make ahead, look no further. Why buy Diamond Cuts when you can easily make them at home? The sweet version of Diamond Cuts is equally delicious and quite a treat (and I have this killer Sweet Diamond Cuts recipe from my friend Deepa) but I prefer Spicy Diamond Cuts because I have trouble placing the sweet version in my day. I mean, are they dessert, or snack, or… what? If it’s a snack, I prefer my snacks savory but then again, if I had different versions on a plate, that would be ideal 😀 Since the dough for Diamond Cuts need to sit for a while, you can make it ahead and prepare other things and come back to making these.

  1. Mix all ingredients for diamond cuts lightly with your fingertips until it resembles coarse sand
  2. Add enough water to make a non-sticky dough. Keep covered aside for 30 mins.
  3. Pinch off a lemon-sized ball and flour generously. Roll into a thin circle.
  4. Cut diagonally into diamonds using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife
  5. Gently lift with a spatula and add to hot oil.
  6. Fry until golden brown
  7. Drain and set side on a lined plate. Serve warm or store in airtight containers after completely cooled. Notes: – Although I am not a huge fan of ajwain, it adds a nice flavour to Diamond Cuts – You can use butter or ghee. Don’t add too much though because that would make the Diamond Cuts too soft and not crunchy. If you are vegan, use margarine or vanaspati – The garlic gives a lovely flavour, definitely don’t omit if you don’t have a dietary restriction – If you don’t want the Diamond Cuts to puff up while frying, use a fork and poke some holes over them just before frying. I didn’t mind the puffy ones too so didn’t do this step – You can use also use equal amounts of maida and atta to make the dough instead of using only maida (all-purpose flour) For spicy diamond cuts recipe in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, etc please use the Google translate button in the sidebar.
