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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Add olive oil to the flour mixture and mix well using your fingers until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Step 5

On a clean surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place one rolled-out khakra onto the skillet.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 9

Allow the khakras to cool completely before serving or storing. Store in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
