Whole Wheat Methi Khakhra

It is easy to ask somebody to give up unhealthy snacks, but it is quite difficult to achieve the goal! Instead, try treating yourself and your family to healthy short-eats like this Whole Wheat Methi Khakhra, which is so tasty that you will naturally lose your craving for junky snacks! Khakhra, the all-time favourite Gujarati snack is enhanced with a sprinkling of powered spices and sesame seeds, which makes it an irresistible treat for your palate! Made of whole wheat, these khakhras are a rich source of complex carbohydrates, protein and fibre. The sesame adds to the calcium quotient of this yummy snack, while methi gives iron to build your haemoglobin stores. Keep a batch of these Whole Wheat Methi Khakhras in an airtight container, ready to munch when you are hungry, be it at home, in office or even when you travel.
