150 grams Amaranth flour/Rajgira flour
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
2 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves
1 tablespoon freshly pounded black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

65 grams oil
½ cup water you might need 2-3 tablespoon extra

Instructions

Measure and keep all the mentioned ingredients ready.
In a wide bowl, take all the dry ingredients mentioned above. Mix them well to form a uniform mixture
To this dry ingredients, add oil and rub it well into the flour mix. It should resemble wet sand.
Now add water little by little and make a soft pliable dough. Divide the dough into four halves. Roll out each portion into a thin circle of ¼ inch thickness.
Cut the dough into desired shapes. I cut them as rectangles. You can also use a cookie cutter, cut out circles from the rolled out dough. Repeat the same with the remaining portions.
Preheat the Oven to 170C. Line a baking tray with parchment , arrange the cut out crackers on the tray.
Bake for 16 minutes, for the last 2 minutes, turn on the top rod for even browning on top.
If you don't have that option in your oven, Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes, flip and bake them for another 6-8 minutes.
Once done, remove the biscuits from the oven to a cooling rack. Let them cool completely.
Store them in an air-tight container on the kitchen counter. Mine stayed good for more than a week.
Enjoy these savory crackers with your evening coffee or tea. They make a great snack for road trips and wonderful gift to your friends and family this festive season.
