Key Questions Answered
To make homemade kucho nimki, you need 250 grams (3 cups) of flour, salt to taste, half a tablespoon of nigella seeds (kalonji), 1 teaspoon of sugar, and white oil for mixing and deep-frying.
Mix nigella seeds, salt, sugar, and 3 tablespoons of oil into the flour, then add water gradually to knead a stiff dough. Let it rest covered for 15 minutes, knead again, roll it out thin like a roti, and cut it into diamond shapes using a knife.
Heat white oil in a pan and deep-fry the diamond-shaped pieces in hot oil on medium heat until they turn reddish-brown to achieve a crispy and crunchy texture.
