Khakhra is a thin, crispy roasted flatbread snack that originates from Gujarat, India. It is traditionally made from whole wheat flour and can be flavored with ingredients such as methi (fenugreek), jeera (cumin), masala spices, or millet flours.

Key points about khakhra:

  • Low moisture content gives it a long shelf life.
  • Usually roasted rather than fried, making it a relatively light snack.
  • Commonly eaten for breakfast or tea-time.
  • Provides carbohydrates and some protein from wheat.
  • Can be paired with chutney, pickle, yogurt, vegetables, or simply eaten plain.

Nutritional considerations:

  • Generally lower in fat than many fried snacks.
  • Whole wheat versions provide some fiber.
  • Commercial varieties may contain added oil, salt, or seasonings, so nutrition varies by brand.
