How To Make Crackers With Tomatoes

When I decided to make no sundried tomato crackers, I wanted to make it a gluten-free recipe. But then I tend to include fiber-rich oats in almost every recipe of mine, so they had to be fitted in here as well.
I will try to come up with a gluten-free tomato cracker recipe soon. Hey, I have already shared one chickpea flour cracker recipe, which is a vegan recipe as well. Check here.

Make a tomato puree. What I did was added 1/4 tsp of olive oil in a 3-liter cooker and then dropped in the chopped tomatoes. Wait for 2 whistles and turn off the flame. Open the cooker and mash the tomatoes. If you have tomato puree handy, it can be used in the recipe.

Take besan or chickpea flour.

Gather all other dry ingredients, including rice flour, jeera, oatmeal, chopped coriander leaves, and chopped green chilly. You may use dried red chilly powder to make your tomato crackers spicy.

Add haldi.

Add carom seeds or ajwain.




Add hing and olive oil.
The goodness of olive oil makes this cracker recipe a healthier snacking alternative to all the buttery stuff.
Add sesame seeds.


 Add garam masala.

Add baking soda, jaggery powder, and salt.


 Mix everything. Rub with hands.



This is how the flour looks mixed with olive oil.




Mix the dry and wet ingredients. If it looks like a sticky dough. Please add more besan. But I added more oat powder to make a stiff dough - should not be too hard though.

Look at the color of the cracker dough. I am loving it already. If your dough still feels soft, cover it in a cling film and refrigerate for half an hour. Then preheat oven or microwave convection at 180 degrees for 8-10 mins. I used my airfryer for this purpose. preheat airfryer for 3-4 mins.

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out like a chapati - use a cookie cutter or small bangle to cut out the crackers. Donot forget to make incisions in each cracker with a fork. 
Look at these golden beauties!!! 
 No I do not claim this to be one of the best cookie recipes, but it surely is a keeper.
What do these crispy crunchies tell you - bake them immediately!

Bake for 10 minutes in microwave convection at 180 degrees or airfry at the same temperature for 12 minutes. If the savory crackers feel soft, bake or airfry longer. It took my airfryer almost 18 mts to airfry these perfectly. Keep an eye on your tomato crackers and allow these golden beauties to cool down before munching on them.

One suggestion: keep the pieces thinner to bake/airfry them quickly. In my case, these were a little thicker, so took me longer. Nevertheless tasty stuff! 
Do not forget to share how you liked this crunchy munchy crispy tomato cracker recipe? Would love to hear back!

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

 How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How? Phytates bind to minerals and nutrients and make their absorption difficult in the gut. Your tummy finds it tough to digest millets in that case. So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy.  Does millet need to be soaked? Yes, without soaking, you may not be able to derive benefits from millets. How much water do you need to soak millets? You may rinse millets well before soaking in at least double the amount of water.  How long should foxtail millet be soaked? All millets should be soaked overnight or for at least 6 hours. Soaking is a safe food practice that helps remove chemical and non-chemical toxicants that are an environmental hazard even in organic f
