Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
• 0.25 cup Fenugreek Leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Carom Seeds (Ajwain)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, fenugreek leaves, carom seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.

Step 2

Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix well until the flour has a crumbly texture.

Step 3

Gradually add water to the flour mixture while kneading until a smooth and firm dough forms.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into small balls.

Step 6

On a flat, clean surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, similar to a tortilla, using a rolling pin. Aim for a thickness of about 1-2 mm.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat.

Step 8

Place the rolled dough onto the warm skillet, and cook one side until it shows light brown spots, approximately 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Flip the khakra and, using a flat spatula or a khakra presser, press down gently on the surface in a circular motion to ensure even cooking while preventing puffing.

Step 10

Cook the other side, continuing to press until both sides are crisp and evenly browned.

Step 11

Remove from skillet and set aside to cool on a wire rack, which helps maintain crispiness.

Step 12

Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 13

Enjoy as a savory snack with chutney or yogurt, or store in an airtight container once completely cool for later consumption.
