Methi khakra is a crispy, savory snack originating from the Indian state of Gujarat. It is a thin, unleavened flatbread made primarily from whole wheat flour and fenugreek leaves (methi). The dough is rolled out into thin discs and then roasted on a griddle or tava until it becomes crispy and golden brown.
The addition of fenugreek leaves gives methi khakra its distinctive flavor and aroma, along with a hint of bitterness from the fenugreek. It is seasoned with various spices such as cumin, coriander, and sometimes chili powder or ajwain (carom seeds) to enhance its taste.
Methi khakra is enjoyed as a light and crunchy snack on its own or paired with chutney, pickles, or yogurt. It is a popular tea-time snack in Gujarat and other parts of India, appreciated for its delightful texture and delicious flavor.
