I know, I know...Diwali is over! But that doesn't mean we have to stop the festivities now, does it? The truth is that I have been so busy dishing out tasty treats on all the 4 days of celebration, that I haven't had the time to post these recipes on Diwali day! So all my fans out there who were expecting to use my recipes on this special occasion, I'm sorry. So do forgive me and try these recipes out sometime, there are welcome even on non-festive days!

Ingredients

 * 1 cup all-purpose flour
 * 1 cup whole wheat flour
 * 1 tbsp cooking oil
 * 1 tspn salt
 * 1 cup icing sugar
 * oil for deep frying

Directions
Mix the all-purpose and whole wheat flour with salt and a tbsp of oil in a large bowl. Use water to knead into a smooth dough.

With a rolling pin, flatten out the dough to about 1/2 an inch thickness. Cut into small diamond shapes.

Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the diamond-shaped dough pieces. Place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil and coat with icing sugar.

Store in an air-tight jar and enjoy with tea/coffee or just as a snack!
