Sieve flour, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl.

Add oil & rub the oil with your fingertips to get a breadcrumb like consistency.

Now start kneading the flour to a stiff dough with water.

Cover the dough with a moistened muslin cloth or kitchen towel and keep aside for 30-40 mins.

Before we began with the method of cutting the dough, we would like to tell you that here we are using the steel katoris, available in almost every kitchen, for giving the shape to our baskets. That's why instead of any other cutter, we are using these katories itself for the purpose so that there shouldn't remain any chance of error in fixing the size of the rolled dough, we cut.

The idea behind using this katori instead of any other baking pan/pie pan is that we want to make the baskets of such a size in which we can adjust any of the snacks.

Do keep in mind that whatever utensil you are using must be compatible to your oven.

Take a ball out of the dough and roll it like a chapati with the help of rolling pin. Roll the dough neither too thin nor too thick.

Cut the dough in round shape with the katori. Keep aside.

Now take one more ball out of the dough and start rolling it.

Cut this dough into strips of half inch width with the help of knife or pizza cutter. Keep aside.

Take the katori you used for cutting the dough. Place it upside down.

Grease the katori from outside with oil.

Now place the round shaped chapati over the katori.

Take the strip and fix its one end on the edge of round shaped chapati. Apply water if finding difficulty in fixing the strip.

Fix this strip from top to bottom of the katori and cut the strip where the katori ends.

Repeatedly fix the strips from all sides of the katori with a desirable gap between each strip.

Now take one more strip and fix it horizontally moving over from the center of all the strips  prefixed vertically.

Place this katori in a preheated oven at 180 degree Celsius for 10-15 minutes or unit the snacks basket is turned golden brown.

Keep an eye on your baskets while baking and if you find that one side is completely baked but the other is yet to receive its end, just invert the sides and bake accordingly.

When done, switch off the oven, bring out the Katories and let them cool down a bit.

Carefully separate steel katories from the Baked Katories.

Your snacks baskets are ready.
