Khakhra

Khakhra is a traditional Indian snack made from whole wheat flour and various spices. It’s thin, crispy, and roasted (not fried), making it a healthier alternative to many other snacks. Originating from Gujarati cuisine, Khakhra is enjoyed across India and globally for its crunch and flavor.

It’s typically eaten with pickles, chutneys, yogurt, or even tea.
