Khakhra is a crispy savoury snack from Gujarati cuisine. Methi Khakhra is tasty and aromatic.
I love Gujarati food. The snacks that they make are varied and yummy. Khakhra, fafda, dhokla and kachori are some of their popular ones. Khakhra are made of various kinds. They can be used as a snack or for breakfast.They can be stored for a long time and ideal to carry during travelling.
The affair with khakhra started long back at home. Children loved these when they were young and I always had a stack of these in my pantry. Methi ,Jeera, Masala, Garlic, so many varieties were available in the bakery.
As we planned to make Gujarati dishes, I thought of trying my hand at Khakhra. Yes, they did turn out good and glad that I ventured into this one. Presenting to you all Gujarati’s popular snack Methi Khakhra today.

Kahkaras are the best accompaniment for evening tea . They work well for weight watchers too
