Namakpare is a savoury snack that is considered a traditional snack or used for staples during long-distance journeys. I love the crunchy and melt-in-the-mouth texture of this snack, especially with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
There are endless possibilities of flavouring and it's not limited to only desi spices. If you want some firangi flavour, you can easily do it.
I have infused Italian herbs and Parmesan cheese for flavouring in this particular Namakpare. My kids love the subtle flavour and for them, I make it quite often. Using all purpose flour is optional in this recipe- you can certainly use whole wheat flour.
