Khakhra is one of the handiest snacks to have whenever you feel the need for a quick bite! It is also filling, so you can even take it along in your tiffin box.

Guess what, the khakhra also provides a wonderful opportunity to sneak in a lot of healthy ingredients. Check out this fabulous Rajgira Buckwheat Brown Rice Flour Khakhra, which is loaded with nutritious flours.

This crisp and gluten-free snack has an apt mix of three awesome flours. Rajgira flour is rich in fibre and iron, and has a fairly high protein level too.

Buckwheat flour has antioxidants power, and helps lower cholesterol.

Brown rice flour adds to the fibre, calcium and zinc content of this snack. All in all, this is a must-try recipe, because you will love the taste too!
