How to Make Yummy Turmeric Crackers at the Home
Looking for a quick and healthy snack that’s both flavorful and crunchy? These healthy turmeric crackers are just what you need! Made with simple ingredients like haldi powder and wheat flour, these crackers are easy to make and perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re serving them at a party, packing them for lunch, or enjoying them as a midday snack, they offer a delightful blend of taste and crunch.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1 tsp haldi powder (turmeric)
- 1 tsp cumin seeds (optional)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or any oil of your choice)
- 1/4 cup water (or as needed)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine wheat flour, haldi powder, cumin seeds, black pepper, and salt. These ingredients will bring out the rich flavours in your crackers. For best results, use Aashirvaad Wheat Flour, Aashirvaad Turmeric Powder, Aashirvaad Salt and other Aashirvaad products from the ITC online store.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients
Pour in the olive oil and mix well. Gradually add water, little by little, until the dough begins to come together. The dough should be firm but not too sticky. Knead it for a couple of minutes until smooth.
4. Roll the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be. You can use a knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into desired shapes.
5. Bake the Crackers
Place the cut pieces of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. If you like extra crunch, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the crackers before baking. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown. Be sure to keep an eye on them, as they can cook quickly toward the end.
6. Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture.
