Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Oat flour
- 0.25 cup Fenugreek leaves (dried or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, oat flour, dried or fresh fenugreek leaves, flaxseeds, sesame seeds, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and salt.
Add olive oil to the flour mixture and mix well using your fingers until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture.
Gradually add water to the mixture, kneading it into a semi-soft dough. Adjust the quantity of water if necessary. The dough should be smooth but not sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
On a clean surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place one rolled-out khakra onto the skillet.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, using a flat spatula to press down and ensure even browning. The khakra should be crispy and golden brown.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Allow the khakras to cool completely before serving or storing. Store in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
