‘Nimki’ is a popular North Indian snack and a perfect accompaniment to your evening tea. Basically, nimkis are deep fried farsaan or snacks and served with mint coriander chutney, sweet tamarind chutney and also taste delightful with Rajasthani hari mirch ka achaar and the classic raw mango pickle.

If this snack is new to you and you’re still wondering what is it about, then let me tell you ….’Nimki’ tastes more or less like ‘Mathri’ and the recipe is also almost similar except the fact that matris are rolled round like small discs, whereas nimkis are rolled and folded into triangles and then deep fried. This way it gets four layers and after getting fried becomes crisp and flakey and makes a perfect tea time snack.



For all those holidays and festive season, nimki is a good option to munch on. Do not miss to make nimkis in large batches and store in air tight containers for a long shelf life. While travelling, you can carry them with yourself and savor with your favorite pickle whenever you want.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Refined oil – To deep fry

For ‘Nimki’ dough-

  • Refined flour – 2 cups
  • Carom seeds – 2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper (Crushed) – 2 teaspoon
  • Asafetida – ¼ teaspoon
  • Salt – To taste
  • Refined oil – 3-4 tablespoon
  • Water – As required to knead dough

How to make Nimki

  • To begin with making these crisp nimkis, we need to start with the ‘Dough’.
  • For this, combine all the ingredients (Except oil to deep fry) in a large mixing bowl and make a firm dough with sufficient water.
  • Cover this dough with a wet muslin cloth and keep aside to rest for at least 15 minutes.
  • After resting, knead the dough once again and it is ready to make nimkis.
  • Divide the dough into small balls.
  • Take one ball and roll into a disc about 4 inches in diameter. Prick with a fork all over. This would prevent it from puffing while deep frying.
  • Now to shape nimki, fold the rolled disc into half. This would give you a folded semi circle. Fold it again to make a quarter and pinch the edge slightly.
  • Similarly, roll and shape all nimkis with the remaining dough.
  • Heat oil in a wok and deep fry the nimkis till crisp and golden on medium flame.
  • Transfer to a plate with kitchen absorbent paper.

Savory and crisp ‘Nimkis’ are now ready. Cool at room temperature, pack in air tight container and serve whenever required. Stays fresh for more than a month.
