Oatmeal Whole Wheat Carom Seeds Or Ajwain Crackers With Olive Oil

• 

Oats, whole wheat flour or atta, carom seeds or ajwain crackers with olive oil. Crispy crunchy delicious and healthy snacks for your munching time. A super easy recipe made with very few ingredients. Perfect for vegan people.

You can use any gluten free flour like cornmeal, millet flour instead of whole wheat flour to make the crackers gluten free. If you don’t like the flavour of carom or ajwain then you can use fennel seeds or sounf, cumin seeds or jeera, nigella seeds or kalonji, kasuri methi, oregano, rosemary, thyme or any seeds or herbs. Use the flavour according to your taste. Instead of adding in the dough you can sprinkle the seeds or herbs on crackers. Brush the crackers with oil or water and sprinkle seeds or herbs of your choice.

Monday again and this week’s 244 #Foodiemonday bloghop theme is Snack Mania suggested by Renu. Renu wants some cupboard snacks for the theme which we can store. I am sharing this super healthy, crispy, crunchy and delicious carom crackers.

As I mentioned above you can use any seeds or herbs of your choice. I have added the seeds in the dough but you can also sprinkle the seeds on the top of the crackers. Brush with little oil or water and sprinkle the ajwain or any seeds or herbs. Choice is your. You can skip chilli flakes if you don’t like or use freshly crushed black pepper instead.
