~ Snake Sticks~

Little one (shhh!!me too) is a sucker for cute food

and a die hard fan for all those cutie pie treats that

makes her tiny little heart top of the world.Healthy

homemade food that resembles a character from

the zoo, fairy-tales or cartoon coloring book are

always a bigggg hit amongst kids . I couldn't stop

myself from heading to the kitchen after seeing

these cuties at Crista's blog..... Little one loved

dipping the snakes in her soup eshhhhh .....

Snake (snack) Sticks !!

Cumin flavored savory breadsticks .

Original recipe states Refrigerated Breadstick dough, but its

not easy to find here hence I happily used the regular jeera

(cumin) cracker recipe n it worked wonderfully.

Gliding thru the oven ..Hissssss.......

Recipe for Cumin flavored breadsticks -

Ingredients - 2 cups refined flour ( i took 1 cup whole wheat & 1 cup refined ),

1 1/2 tsp salt , 1 tsp baking powder , 1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, 1/4 tsp roasted cumin

powder,1 tsp powdered sugar , 1/2 cup olive or refined oil, 1 egg , a few

peppercorns , dry whole chillies and wooden skewers .

Method- Sift together flour, salt & baking powder, mix in the cumin seeds &

cumin powder. Beat the egg & mix in sugar & oil . Knead into soft dough

adding a few tbsps of water as required. Divide the dough into 15 portions &

roll each into sticks (coils ) . Wrap each coil around a greased skewer . Flatten

one of the ends to resemble a snake's mouth & place two peppercorns for the

eyes. Cut out a piece from the chilly & put it as the tongue. Place on a greased

tray & bake in a preheated oven at 180C / gas mark 4 for 20-25 mins

or until light brown & crisp . Cool & serve .
