Sweet and spicy, these herb-filled crackers are addictive. Enjoy them with cheese or dip, or all by themselves!


Ingredients

Units 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

  1. Sift together the all-purpose flour, corn flour, milk powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Add the sugar and mix well.
  2. Add chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, curry leaves, asafetida, chopped onion, green chilies, toasted sesame seeds, melted butter, and oil. Mix well.
  3. Sprinkle water a few spoons at a time, mixing to form a stiff dough. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. Alternatively, pinch small lemon-sized balls, place them between two plastic sheets, and press to flatten into discs.
  6. 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.
  7. Repeat the procedure with the remaining dough.
  8. 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.
