Salted Tukdi/Salted diamond cuts

This is the salted version of tukdi which is again super crisp.Yesterday I had posted a spicy version and this  is slightly different.Slight difference also make a great change,isn't it?I don't mind trying the  same dish with different variations.Recently I saw this tukdi post in a FB group posted by my friend Chandrika Kini who is an awesome cook.Well, I was lucky to lunch with her  during my UAE visit and she had prepared such a tasty spread.She adapted this recipe from Nutan Shenoy Kini.I thank both of them for this recipe.And the minute I saw this I could not resist myself and tried it out to the earliest and this is me.
