- 1 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (til)
- ¼ tsp chilli powder
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
- 2 tsp oil
- salt to taste
- To the fenugreek leaves, add the ajwain, sesame seeds, chilli powder, turmeric powder, oil and salt and mix very well for 2 minutes until the leaves become soft.
- Add the flour and prepare the dough by adding just enough water.
- Divide the dough into 15 portions and roll out each portion into very thin rounds with help of a little flour.
- Cook lightly for a few seconds on both sides on a tawa (griddle).
- Apply a little ghee or oil on each khakra.
- Repeat for the remaining portions.
- Cook again on a slow flame until crisp using little pressure with help of a cloth.

Khakaras made from whole wheat flour are a rich source of complex cabohydrates, fibre and many vitamins.
They make an excellent substitute for biscuits.
Try them with a spot of honey or with bean sprouts.
