Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Besan (chickpea flour)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, besan, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, fenugreek leaves, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Mix the dry ingredients well and then add olive oil to the mixture.
Step 3
Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a firm, smooth dough. The dough should not be sticky; adjust water as required.
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Step 6
Preheat a skillet or a griddle over medium heat.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.
Step 8
Place the rolled dough onto the preheated skillet. Cook the khakra on one side for about 2 minutes or until small bubbles start appearing.
Step 9
Flip the khakra and press it gently with a clean cloth or spatula, applying even pressure, until it turns golden and is crisp.
Step 10
Repeat the process with all the remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Allow the khakras to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
