If you’d like to make a similar multi-grain khari at home, here’s a recipe that you can try:
Ingredients:
Whole wheat flour – 1 cup
All-purpose flour (maida) – 1 cup
Oats – 1/2 cup
Flax seeds – 2 tbsp
Chia seeds – 1 tbsp
Sesame seeds – 2 tbsp
Chili powder – 1/2 tsp (adjust to taste)
Cumin powder – 1/2 tsp
Carom seeds (ajwain) – 1/2 tsp
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Butter or ghee – 1/2 cup (cubed and chilled)
Salt – 1 tsp
Milk or yogurt – 1/4 cup (or as needed for binding)
Cumin seeds – 1/2 tsp (for sprinkling, optional)
Steps to Make Multi-Grain Khari:
Prepare the dough:
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, chili powder, cumin powder, carom seeds, baking powder, and salt.
Add the chilled butter or ghee cubes to the flour mixture. Using your fingers, rub the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Form the dough:
Gradually add milk or yogurt, a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. It should be firm but pliable.
Knead the dough briefly until smooth, then cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Roll out and cut:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. For a crispier texture, roll it thinner.
Cut the dough into desired shapes (squares or rectangles) using a knife or cookie cutter. Place the cut pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Add finishing touches:
Optionally, sprinkle a few cumin seeds on top of each piece for extra flavor.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the khari is golden brown and crispy.
Cool and store:
Allow the khari multi-grain biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
These multi-grain kharis offer a healthy twist on the classic snack, providing extra fiber and nutrients from the variety of grains and seeds. Enjoy them with your favorite tea or as a crunchy snack throughout the day!
