Popular Bengali snack Nimkis are shaped like mini croissants. It's a fun way to make the snacks. Crispy and tasty Air Fryer Croissant Nimkis can be prepared and stored for weeks; make a batch now.
In a bowl add the flours, salt and kalojire, mix well.
Add oil to the flour mixture and start mixing until the flour looks crumbly, and while you’d hold some portion of the flour mixture, it holds the shape.
Add water little-by-little and knead a smooth, firm dough.
Divide the dough in small walnut shaped balls.
Grease a surface with oil and start rolling out the balls (watch the video for instructions).
With a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out disc and mark the triangles.
Start making the mini croissant shaped nimkis by rolling each triangle towards the center of the disc, keep them aside.
Preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees C for 5 minutes.
After it gets preheated, grease the air fryer basket and transfer the nimkis to it gently. Fry the nimkis in batches, and don’t crowd the basket too much.
Air fry the nimkis for 8-10 minutes, or bake until they turn golden and crisp. As the nimkis get cooled they turn out crispier.
After the nimkis get cooled completely at room temperature, store them in an airtight container, and consume within 2 weeks.
Enjoy them any time you prefer.
