Chef's Notes
Hot ghee is the secret weapon here. Pouring it straight onto the flour creates what we call 'moyin', which physically coats the flour particles and prevents gluten from overdeveloping, guaranteeing that addictive, flaky crunch.
Pro Tip
Do not rush the frying stage! If your oil is too hot, the outside will burn while the inside stays raw and chewy. Low and slow wins the crown.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Turning the stove up to high because you are impatient, resulting in coal-black diamond shapes that taste like pure carbon and sadness.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the court chef why these are shaped like diamonds, he said it's because eating them is the only way I'll ever be able to afford a crown
The Culinary Science
When hot fat coats flour before water is added, it shortens the gluten strands, which is precisely why traditional snack pastries crumble so delicately in your mouth instead of bouncing like bread.
