Namak para is a traditional crispy snack originating from India, but it's also popular in Pakistan. The snack is made with a combination of wheat flour, ghee, oil, salt, asafoetida, and black pepper, while onions and ajwain seeds are a nice addition, although not mandatory.

The ingredients are mixed with water and kneaded into thick dough that's rolled, cut into diamond shapes, and fried in oil until the namak paras turn golden. This snack is typically served with tea on the side.
