Kata Namkeen (Nimki) is an excellent item to serve with evening tea/coffee (almost irreplaceable). Of course you can always buy ready-made stuff but there’s simply no comparison with crispy home made namkeen. You guests (and family) will definitely notice the difference and the namkeen recipe will become the hot topic of discussion. Try this kata namkeen recipe.
