FAQS

  1. Can I use any other flour instead of wheat flour?

    Wheat flour is recommended for the authentic taste, but you can experiment with other flours like all-purpose flour.

  2. How do I store the Nimki?

    Store the Nimki in an airtight container to keep them crispy for several days.

  3. Can I bake the Nimki instead of frying?

    Yes, you can bake them at 350°F until golden brown, but frying gives the traditional texture and flavor.

  4. Can I skip fenugreek?

    Fenugreek adds a unique flavor, but you can skip it or substitute it with other herbs like dried parsley.
