Doodlebrary
- Khakhra is a popular Indian snack that originates from the state of Gujarat.
- It is a thin, crispy, and round flatbread made from whole wheat flour, gram flour (besan), and a variety of spices.
- Khakhra is typically prepared by mixing these ingredients into a stiff dough, rolling it into very thin circles, and then roasting it on a griddle or tava until it becomes crisp and golden brown.
- Khakhras come in various flavors, including plain, masala (spiced), jeera (cumin), methi (fenugreek), and more.
- They are seasoned with spices, salt, and oil to enhance their taste.
- Khakhras are a popular tea-time snack and are often served with chutneys, pickles, or yogurt.
- These crispy, thin flatbreads are not only delicious but also considered a healthier snack option compared to many other fried snacks, as they are typically low in fat and made from whole wheat, which provides fiber and nutrients.
- Khakhras are a convenient and popular choice for both home snacking and as a part of traditional Gujarati cuisine.
