Scale
- 2 cups (473 ml) all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp corn flour
- 2 tsp milk powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Salt
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp coriander leaves
- 2 tbsp mint leaves
- 10-12 curry leaves
- 1 large onion
- 2 green chilies
- a large pinch asafetida
- 1-1/2 tbsp white sesame seeds
- Water
Instructions
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, corn flour, milk powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Add the sugar and mix well.
- Add chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, curry leaves, asafetida, chopped onion, green chilies, toasted sesame seeds, melted butter, and oil. Mix well.
- Sprinkle water a few spoons at a time, mixing to form a stiff dough. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four portions and roll each portion into a 1mm thick disc. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the crackers into desired shapes and prick holes in the dough using a fork.
- Alternatively, pinch small lemon-sized balls, place them between two plastic sheets, and press to flatten into discs.
- Arrange the crackers on a prepared baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping once after 10 minutes.
- Repeat the procedure with the remaining dough.
- Allow the crackers to cool completely before storing them in airtight containers.
Notes
- For a stronger onion flavor, caramelize the onion before adding it to the dough.
- To prevent burning, use parchment paper on your baking sheet.
- These crackers store well; keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
