This is an all time favourite among my children and now my grand kids too. It is a simple and crunchy snack that one can indulge in at any time. 

This is always included in our Diwali Batchanams!

2. Strain through a muslin cloth and add 1 cup water to it. 
3. Soak the asafoetida in little water and pour into the ajwain water. 
4. Mix sufficient salt & mix thoroughly. 
5. Sieve both flours on a large plate.
