Equipment

  • Microwave/Oven Toaster Grill

Ingredients

  • 100 grams Split Chickpea Flour/ Gram Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Flour
  • ½ teaspoon White Sesame Seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon Nigella Seeds/ Black Caraway Seeds/Kalonji Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • water to form a soft and tight dough

Instructions

  • Sift the flours and add all dry ingredients except seeds.
  • Start adding little water and knead together till it forms a soft but tight dough.
  • Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 350°F/180°C
  • Dust your surface with rice flour or roll the dough between two sheets of cling wrap or parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough flat and thin but thick enough that it does not break. You will be able to judge the perfect thickness for your dough as you start rolling.
  • The thinner you roll the crispier the crackers will be and also they will take less time to bake.
  • Mark rectangles with a knife and prick holes with a fork in every rectangle so that the crackers do not puff up while baking.
  • Press healthy seeds of your choice. I have used Sesame Seeds and Nigella Seeds.
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 180°C till the edges start turning golden brown. If you have rolled thin crackers, keep an eye around the 8 minute mark.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

These can be made with Chickpea Flour as well but I have used Split Chickpea Flour also known as Bengal Gram Flour to make these.
The dough should be tight and not loose and sticky.
If your dough becomes sticky add a tablespoon of Gram Flour and knead again.
You can also deep fry these crackers until golden brown.
