Spiced Whole Wheat Crackers- Baked "Mathris"

This one is all for "Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention"

While trying to loose those extra lbs, I learned the importance of healthy snacking. My previous diets failed as I never snacked, not because I snacked unhealthy. We know snack on fresh fruits and veggies to loose those extra lbs.....but that can be difficult at times. Either coz you don't find your choice of fruits or you wanna give up for those old favorite fried snacks. Also, I know my sweet taste buds wanna break from all those sweet fruits.

These spiced up savory crackers are just perfect for an afternoon snack with a cup of coffee/tea. Traditional recipe calls for frying but the healthy way obviously goes the baking route. The various spices used have great health benefits and boost your metabolism. A goto savory no guilt snack....

Recipe
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2  cup all purpose flour
1 1/2Tbsp carom seeds (ajwon) -- increases your metabolism. traditionally used to treat digestive problems also
1Tbsp Cayenne pepper -- supports weight loss, detoxify, anti-inflammatory and many more
2 Tbsp Dried Fenugreek Leaves -- rich in protein, Vitamin B, minerals, folic acid and all good things your body wants
1 cup water
3 Tbsp oil

Method


  • Make a firm dough of all the above ingredients.
  • Let it stand as you prep your oven at 350 deg F
  • Now roll the dough about 1 inch thick and cut your favorite shapes
  • Bake for 15-20 min flipping sides after 10 min

Enjoy with your favorite dip. Go baking!
