Khakra is a crispy flat bread from state of Gujarat, India which is served as a snack. I’m going to share the recipe for Methi masala khakra which has a subtle flavors from dried fenugreek leaves and spices.
I learnt all these Gujarati savories from my sister who lived in Ahmedabad, Gujarat for many years after her marriage. She’s a wonderful cook and learnt many dishes from her like Thepla, Farsi Puri etc. I think sisters are special in your life especially if you have an elder sister. I also have a special bond with my sister and love talking with her. I lose count of time when I’m talking to her. It is only when I end the call, I realize that I spent last hour talking to her :)..
Well, coming back to today’s recipe. Methi masala khakra are pretty easy to make with easily available ingredients.
Make sure that you roll the dough as thin as possible so that its crispy..
Use a potato masher to press and roast the flattened dough on a griddle so that it does not fluff up…
Enjoy these methi masala khakra with a cup of ginger tea or any of your favorite beverage..

I have to say that I really love Indian flatbreads. I just adore the addition of the spices. So much flavor and attitude. And love that color.
Thank you Mark 🙂
This looks delicious!! I usually serve naan or chapatti with curries, or those little crackers and chutney for a snack, but I’ll have to try this!!! It looks delicious.

Never tried this at home.. Bookmarking this priya. great share.
Thank you 🙂
Left over rotis of the previous day, if reheated for just one minute, in a big size sandwich maker will make the roti fresh to eat… If the roti is allowed to dry for near 4 minutes it becomes Khakra of our choice..it can be in shelf for even upto two weeks.. Try rotis in different flavours and convert it to Khakra too, thereby nil wastage..
Great idea. Thank you for sharing 🙂
I will try this on the weekends!
Thank you Shazana. Do share the feedback 🙂
