Khakhras are kind of papad or thin chapati or paratha which super crispy. The secret to making best khakhras lies how thin roti you can possibly roll out. And afterward cooking it on low heat with khakhra presser until it gets crispy. So let see how to make Jain khakhra from scratch.

Jain Khakhra | How To Make Khakhra

Ingredient                                                                      11 Khakhra

1 Cup whole wheat flour
1/2 Cup bengal gram flour or besan
1/2 Tsp carom seed
1 Tsp salt
1/2 Tsp red chili powder
1/4 Tsp turmeric powder
2 Pinch asafoetida
1 Tblsp oil
3/4 Cup water to knead

Method

1. Take all ingredients in a mixing bowl and knead a soft dough. Cover it and keep it aside for 15 minutes.
2. Divide the dough into equal portions. I made 11 khakhras with this quantity.
3. Heat the griddle on medium flame.
4. Take a dough ball and dust it with some dry flour. Roll out as thin as possible.
5. Place the rolled roti or flatbread on the hot griddle. As the roti bubbles up flip it on another side.
6. Use khakhra presser or a clean muslin cloth now to cook roti from both sides until golden brown. Cook on medium heat.
7. You can also apply oil or ghee and then cook. I wanted them without oil.
8. Repeat the process with the rest of the dough balls.
9. Jain khakhra is ready to serve with curd or pickle and with evening tea.

Note

1. Add any herb like methi, palak, kasoori methi to make different flavors.
2. Try to roll roti (flatbread) as thin as possible in order to make best khakhras.
3. You can store these khakhras in an airtight container for upto a month.
