A favorite gujarati snack. Very versatile that can be had for breakfast, made into a chaat, or just eaten as a tea time snack.

Makes: 20 khakra’s

Cooking time: 20 minutes Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup chopped fenugreek/methi leaves or kasuri methi(dried leaves)
• 2 teaspoons carom/ajwain seeds
• ¼ teaspoon chilli powder
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon oil more for making the khakra
• Salt to taste

Method

Mix all the ingredients and knead by adding little water at a time, till it becomes soft stiff dough.

Keep aside covered for 15 minutes

Make 20 balls of the dough.

Roll out the all the balls into very thin circles

Heat the griddle in medium high and add 1 teaspoon of oil and keep pressing it on the griddle not allowing it to puff.

Continue the Press and cook method on medium heat until the rounds become crisp. Now the crisp rounds called khakra’s are ready

   Archanaji,

   Wish you had a separate section for ‘CHILDREN’. We have children and keep hunting for good & healthy snacks for them. Otherwise, your site is good and I did find a few items like Chevdo and Khakra suitable for kids too. Keep up the good work!

   Rgds.

   Dear Archana
   I love these khakra’s, but always had the store bought. After visiting your blog thought about giving a try. But sadly they became chewy and not crispy as yours. If not an inconvenience to you, can you please detail out the steps involved in frying. Also the amount of water to be used.

   Regards,
   Madhavi

    Nice to have a recipe of khakra. Pl tell whether the khakra should be turned on the other side also for frying on the oil.

    Hi Maya, yes the khakras have to be roasted on both side, the oil is up to you, i use oil only on one side. Thanks for visiting.
