I would say that this recipe will be a easy but tasty snack which you can make for diwali..I made it in minutes and it tasted divine..I have already shared a different version of diamond cuts in my blog, this is a completely different one, much more thicker and very buttery. Great with a cup of tea..

    Sorry to say that the recipe did not turn good as expected. Followed the recipe exactly. However, the dough just disintegrated leaving a big mess when fried. Not sure what went wrong.
