Wonderfully rustic and healthy. My husband would love these for a mid morning snack at office. Trying this very soon Vaishali ! Great share.. what’s methia masala ? Can I sub with Khakhra masala topping that we get commeracially ?
Methia Masala is a spice mix which is similar to achaar masala. I have given the link if you want to make it yourself, else you can buy at a grocery store.
First of all, I must say that the clicks are excellent! The set up of the whole thing looks just amazing, and the red background literally pops out the crisps. They looks amazing to be dunk into that spicy chutney, and with some adrak chai on the side, it must be a play on the tongue for sure… Awesome share!
Omg, those crisps are inviting me to munch some rite now. Bajra crisps looks absolutely incredible. Dunno y i never baked something like this with bajra. Methi masala and ginger garlic paste addition sounds absolutely tremendous.
The ingredients sounds so simple and easy to make!! Avoiding sugar in crisps like this is awesome.
I love savory cookies more than sweet ones, and this is so healthy Vaishali!
Such a healthy way of cookies.. Love this kind of healthy flour..
The bajra cookies are healthy and guilt free.Love the savory version,would try it soon.
Wonderfully baked crisps, will love to have these for any time munching snack !!
These bajra crisps looks fabulous Vaishali. I am really happy that it is gf too. I have some bajra flour and was thinking of using it. Now I know what to do.
OMG, these bajra crisps are so very tempting vaishali, would love to bake them for myself!!!
I can see myself munching on these spicy and addictive crisps the whole day. They would probably go perfect with my creamy onion dip 🙂
I love to try crackers with different flours and millets add great flavor. I have to try that spice mix as a flavoring the next time I try these.
what healthy crackers – great for when you want a savory snack
I just blogged about millet crackers and I am seeing this. My next bake will be bajra crackers for sure. Looks amazing. Perfectly fits my diet plan
Those are some healthy, guilt free crackers. I need to try that methi masala first to try these crackers.
OMG the cookies look so beautiful and so crisp. Using bajra makes it healthy and gluten free too. My mom makes a similar version but on the sweetish side and is fried, I have taken the recipe from her to replicate hopefully someday.
I love savoury cookies very much, you made them perfectly and they look so tempting and crunchy. Soon going to try this.
