The bitterness of methi is surprisingly very pleasant in this creation. It makes you smack your lips and reach for another khakhra!

We have shown you how to make bajra methi khakhra recipe in 2 ways. First is bajra methi khakhra handmade and that is the traditional way to make it. However, the cooking and crispness is not uniform on the khakhra as there is a lot of human effort. Second is bajra methi khakhra made with khakhra press which makes the khakhra cook uniformly and crisply. If you make lots of khakhras at home, then we suggest you buy the khakhra press which is inexpensive.



bajra methi khakhra recipe is healthy as its made of mainly bajra flour and methi leaves. Bajra flour is high in protein and is a complete protein for vegetarians when combined with dal. So as a Vegetarian, include bajra in your diet. Fenugreek leaves help in improving glucose and insulin responses, hence good for diabetics. The levels of cholesterol also reduced with intakes of fenugreek leaves.

I prefer to make bajra methi khakhra at home as it is far more healthier. You are never sure of the quality of the flour used by small packaged food makers and also the quality of oil used. Street food tends to use oil which has been used multiple times which will affect your health.

Ghee : Other than calories and fats, the only nutrients that ghee is rich in are the vitamins – all of which are fat-soluble. All the 3 vitamins (Vitamin AVitamin E and Vitamin K) are antioxidants which have a role in removing free radicals from the body and protecting our cell as well as help in maintaining skin health and glow. Ghee is an excellent, high-quality selection medium of cooking because of its high smoke point. As compared to most oils and butter, ghee can handle a smoke point of 230°C, 450°F, thus its less prone to oxidant and destruction of nutrients. Yes, ghee does contain cholesterol, but some amount of cholesterol is needed by the body. Cholesterol has some functions to play too. It is necessary for hormone production, brain function, cell health and lubricating the joints. It is, in reality, a high quality fat for the body and brain. Ghee is loaded with fats but that’s medium chain fatty acids (MCT) which aid in weight loss. Ghee is healthy for daibetics in small amounts and you need to check your fat intake at the same time. Learn to easily make your ghee at home which is free of preservatives. See benefits of ghee
