Besam Paare (Spicy Indian Crackers)




This is my first attempt at making Besam Paare (Spicy Indian Crackers). For the recipe, please go here.

I have memories of eating very delicious spicy home made crackers at a neighbor's house when I was little, and I had a craving for them. I'm not sure if Manjula's recipe is exactly the same, but I think these are similar to the ones I remember eating. It could be the flavor of carom seeds and lentil flour that bring back memories.

I had a nice relaxing afternoon with a teapot of sweetened cardamom tea, eating these and just staring at the Mediterranean sea.

  2. These look real good. Nothing like a homemade cracker. They are always the best.

  3. We make something similar (but with a different name). It uses only wheat flour and they are scrumptious and addictive. I bet these were good. we call ours Nimki.
