Chef's Notes
Drying your soaked pulses is not optional! If you introduce wet lentils to hot oil, you will recreate a miniature volcanic eruption in your kitchen.
Pro Tip
Always toss your spice mix onto the namkeen the exact second it comes out of the hot oil. The residual surface heat helps the spices cling to the snack like iron filings to a magnet.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping soaking-wet lentils straight into boiling oil because you got impatient and skipped the drying cloth step, resulting in a terrifying geyser of hot oil and third-degree culinary regret.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the royal guard eat all the namkeen? Because keeping watch over an empty snack bowl is a treasonous offense!
The Culinary Science
Adding baking soda to the green pea soak increases the pH level, breaking down pectin in the cell walls so the peas stay tender on the inside while crisping up outside.
