These crackers are made with Barnyard Millet flour that is Samak in Hindi which is very fondly eaten during Navratri. I added roasted peanuts for some extra crunch to the crackers. They are flavored with only rock salt & roasted cumin powder, perfect with tea while you are fasting 

Ingredients

  1. 1.1/2 cup Powdered Barnyard Millet(Samak)
  2. 1/4 cup amaranth flour
  3. 1/4 cup ghee
  4. 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely powdered
  5. 1 tbsp roasted cumin powder
  6. 1 tsp rock salt or to taste

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix together both the flours, peanut powder, cumin powder, kasoori methi and salt

  2. 2

    Add ghee and rub all of this between your palms, to get everything mixed really well

  3. 3

    Add little water to make it come together

  4. 4

    Then roll the dough to a thin sheet of ¼ inch thickness. The dough is a little tricky because none of the flours has gluten that helps in sticking it together. So it will keep on falling apart but roll it with light hands and with the help of dry amaranth flour

  5. 5

    Cut out the sheet in desired shape with a cookie cutter and line them on the greased baking tray

  6. 6

    Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until they are crispy brown looking
