How To Bake Spicy Crackers

Yields: 30-35 small crackers

Preparation time: 20 mins

Cooking time: 20 mins

Ingredients needed to make Spicy Crackers:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp curry leaves, torn into rough pieces
• 2 green chilies, finely chopped
• 4 tbsp milk
• 4 tbsp butter, softened
• ½ tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt

Cooking instructions for Spicy Crackers:

• Place the flour in a large mixing bowl and stir in the butter.
• Rub them together with your fingers until they blend together into a uniform mixture, resembling fine breadcrumbs.
• Sprinkle the salt, sugar, sesame seeds, green chilies as well as the chopped leaves into it and add a splash of milk into it.
• Work them together until they are distributed evenly throughout the mixture and clump together to form a smooth yet somewhat stiff dough.
• Dust the working counter with flour and transfer the dough onto it.
• Knead it briefly to make it more pliable and roll it out into a ¼ thick large rectangle.
• Cut it into about 25 small squares and collect the leftovers to knead them into an entire dough.
• Carve more squares out of it and poke them with a fork at several places.
• Warm up your oven to 180 degrees C and lay out the biscuits onto a baking tray, lined previously with a grease-proof paper.
• Place the tray into the hot oven and bake for 20 minutes or until they turn golden and are properly baked.
• Remove them from oven and set them aside on a wire rack to cool completely to from crispy crackers.
• Store them in an air-tight container and snack on them whenever you feel hungry.
