Low Fat Baked Methi Muthia [Fenugreek Crackers] and Award Time

This is one healthy snack with goodness of fenugreek, olive oil and is baked !! This snack is ideal for someone like me who loves to much all day long:)) This is a guilt free snack which you can munch anywhere !


Ingredients:

Whole flour - 5 tbsp
**Besan [gram flour] - 5 tbsp
**Kasoori Methi [Fenugreek Leaves] - 2 tbsp
Cumin seeds - 1tsp
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Red chillie powder - 1/4 tsp
Hing[Asfotedia] - pinch
Salt to taste
Olive oil - 2 tbsp
Water to knead

Method:

Sieve all the powder ingredients including spices

Now add cumin seeds, fenugreek leaves and olive oil and mix well with hands [I have used MDH brand fenugreek leaves as I ran out of the fresh ones! Fresh leaves give better flavor and aroma]

Make a semi-soft dough using minimum water and let the dough sit covered at room temperature for 1 hour

Pinch out one inch diameter balls and roll them into small thin discs [called Muthia] and place it on a greased cookie sheet

Bake it in a preheated oven at 350 degree Fareheit. First bake for 4 minutes and invert the sides of the muthias and bake for another 4 minute [the muthias bake very fast, keep checking in between to prevent them from burning. Also, place the baking tray in the center of the oven]

Once baked, cool on a wire rack and store it in an air tight container.

Snack on it anytime with tea, chutney [dip] or make papadi chaat with yougurt and tamarind sauce. [Baked Muthias are little dryer than deep fried ones, but the accompaniments make up for the dryness ]

** Besan and Methi can be obtained in any Indian store
