Kurkure is a quick and easy deep-fried snack recipe made with all-purpose flour (maida), instant paneer, and topped with spice powder. Traditionally, Kurkure is made with cornmeal or rice flour, but recently some companies have started using paneer as a unique twist on this popular Indian snack. It has a very long shelf life and can be stored in airtight containers for months. It is extremely simple recipe, so do try it!
The key to making crispy kurkure at home are
- Firstly using paneer to make Kurkure adds a creamy and cheesy flavor to it. Additionally, paneer is a good source of protein, so kurkure made with paneer may be a slightly healthier option than traditional kurkure made with cornmeal or rice flour.
- Secondly, Kurkure dough should be smooth and semi-soft. Also, roll the roti’s should be thin like a normal chapati or roti’s. this would help in attaining a crisp brittle texture.
- Lastly, Fry kurkure on medium-high flame. once deep fried, cool down and store them in an airtight container for a longer shelf life.
