Ajwain Crackers

Postpartum cravings are real! I din’t crave much for anything except apple and watermelon during my pregnancy but I’m craving a lot these days. My dad used to but us these crackers and cream biscuits from a local bakery and these were our after school snacks. I din’t know what these crackers were called so I had to guess the ingredients and google the recipe and both google and my tastebuds din’t fail me. I found a recipe which seemed close and I tweaked it a bit.


You will need-

• All- purpose flour/wheat/wheat+ragi- 2 cups
• Oil- 1/3 cup
• Ajwain/carom seeds- 2 tsp
• Jeera/cumin seeds- 1 tsp
• Butter- 1 tsp
• Yogurt- 2 tbsp
• Milk- 1/2 cup
• Red chili powder- 1 tsp
• Salt- to taste
• Sugar- 2 tsp

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F/180C. Grease a cookie sheet with some oil.
2. In a large bowl, add in everything except milk and mix well.
3. Add in milk and mix until it forms a smooth dough without any cracks or dry patches.
4. Divide the dough and roll into thin sheet and cut with cookie cutter or a knife.
5. Poke them with fork and arrange them in the greased cookie sheet.
6. Bake in the middle rack for 12-15 mins. Keep an eye on them after 12 minutes and take them out as soon as you see them brown in the edges.
