Firstly, add all-purpose flour, red chili powder, carom seeds, and salt; mix well

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a small pan (avoid piping hot) and add the hot oil to the flour mixture

Add water little by little and make it into a pliable, stiff, crack-free dough

Cover the dough with a moist paper towel/ cloth and let it rest for at least half an hour

After resting, divide the dough into equal-sized balls and roll the dough

You can dust very little flour and roll  a thin chappathi

Using the pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the rolled-out dough into thin strips

Cut diagonal strips to form a diamond shape. You can cut horizontal strips and make squares or rectangles

Carefully transfer the cut pieces and place them on a plate or parchment paper

Meanwhile, heat the oil and roll the entire dough

Check if the oil is hot; add a small piece of the dough. If it rises in a few seconds without changing color, the oil is at the right temperature

Fry the diamond biscuits in batches on low- medium flame,  flip in between for even frying. Fry golden brown and drain the diamond biscuits on an oil filter/ colander with a paper towel

After they are cool, transfer them to an airtight container
