Khakhra is a traditional and crispy Gujarati snack made from whole wheat flour and spices. It is a healthy and light snack, often enjoyed with tea or pickle. Known for its crunch and long shelf-life, khakhra is a perfect addition to your daily diet, especially for weight watchers.


🧂 Ingredients for Khakhra: (For 8–10 pieces)

  • Whole wheat flour – 1 cup

  • Salt – to taste

  • Carom seeds (ajwain) – ½ tsp

  • Cumin seeds – ½ tsp

  • Red chilli powder – ¼ tsp (optional)

  • Ghee or oil – 1 tbsp (for dough)

In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, salt, ajwain, cumin, red chilli powder, and 1 tbsp ghee. Slowly add water and knead into a firm dough. Cover and let it rest for 15–20 minutes.

2. Roll the Khakhra:

Divide dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin, round chapati (as thin as possible).

3. Roast the Khakhra:

Heat a tava or non-stick pan on low flame. Place the rolled dough on it. Roast on both sides on low flame, pressing gently with a cloth or spatula to avoid puffing. Cook till crispy and golden brown.
