Spicy Phudina Khakhra

This Gujarati staple is traditionally made and served with a lot of ghee. Here is a healthier version made using just 1 teaspoon of oil. Mint and chillies add flavour to this popular snack, one of my favorites. Use innovative toppings for added taste. Carry them with you on your travels and you'll find it much easier to make new friends!

Preparation Time: 10 minutes.
Cooking Time: 25 minutes.
Makes 10 khakhras.

½ cup finely chopped mint leaves (phudina)
1 tbsp chopped green chillies
1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
½ tsp roasted and coarsely crushed cumin seeds (jeera)
1 tsp oil
Salt to taste
Whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling

1. Combine the mint leaves and green chillies along with ¼ cup of water and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste.
2. Combine all the remaining ingredients, including the mint paste, in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough using water as required.
3. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll out each portion into a very thin round of 125 mm. (5") diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
4. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook each khakhra on a slow flame till pink spots appear on both the sides.
5. Continue cooking the khakhra on a slow flame, while pressing with a folded muslin cloth or a khakhra press, till it turns crisp and brown from both the sides.
6. Cool and store in an air-tight container.
