Crispy Snack Tips: Softening of salt is a common problem during the rainy season. Many times, moisture comes into the packet due to it being left open. And the crunch of the salty is gone. In such a situation, when salty snacks are mixed with hot evening tea, the fun of tea disappears. Most people throw it away, whereas with a little understanding it can be restored to its original condition. With the help of these easy methods, you can get back the crunch and taste of namkeen in just a few minutes.

Ways to make sealy namkeen crispy

use the microwave
If you have a microwave, spread the sifted namkeen evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Now heat it on high power for about 30 to 40 seconds. Don’t be in a hurry to eat it immediately after heating. First let the brine cool for 2 to 3 minutes. As it cools, its crispness will return.

fry in a pan
If there is no microwave in the house, then gas and pan are equally effective alternatives. Lightly heat a thick bottomed kadai or pan. Now add salted salt in it and reduce the flame of the gas. Keep stirring the brine with a spoon so that the brine does not burn. After lightly roasting for about 2 to 3 minutes, turn off the gas. Now take it out in a plate and wait for it to cool. After cooling, the namkeen will become as crispy as before.

You can also take the help of a pan
If you don’t have a microwave, seared namkeen can still be made crisp again. For this, use the heat left in the pan after making rotis or parathas. First of all, turn off the gas and spread the namkeen in a steel plate and keep it on a hot pan. Leave the plate there for about 10 to 15 minutes. During this time, the gentle heat of the pan will gradually reduce the moisture present in the brine.
After this, let the brine cool for a few minutes. As soon as it comes to normal temperature, its crispness will return and the taste will also feel the same as before.

How to keep the brine from becoming soft?

After opening the packet of namkeen, keep the packet in an airtight container.
Place a small piece of tissue paper or blotting paper in the container.
Use a dry spoon while taking out the brine.
Close the lid of the box tightly every time.
Keep the container away from gas, sinks or other moist places.
