Well, you’re sure to have tasted plain whole wheat flour khakhras as well as those perked up with ingredients like cumin, garlic, fenugreek leaves etc.

Here is a healthy and tasty khakhra that’s mind-bogglingly unique. Made of a mix of flours including quinoa flour and oats flour, this khakhra is fortified with red chawli leaves, sesame seeds and other flavour-enhancing ingredients.

It is so tasty that you will love munching on it. And best of all, it is awesomely healthy too! Quinoa increases your energy levels as it is rich in protein, while red chawli leaves are loaded with iron, potassium and vitamins C and E.

Apart from boosting the iron content, sesame seeds elevate the aroma, and add to the crunchiness of the Quinoa Red Chawli Leaves Khakhra. Burgeoning with nutrients, this yummy khakhra is a wonderful way to silence your hunger pangs, especially when you are in office.

Make them in batches and store in an airtight container to use as and when required. Try other khakhra recipes like Rajgira Buckwheat Brown Rice Flour Khakhra or Oats Methi Multiflour Khakhra
