How to make maska chaska crackers with jowar flour recipe

Whip solid ghee along with 1 tbsp curd until it looks fluffy.

Add 1 tbsp more of curd and whip again.

Next, add salt, jeera powder and mix.

Sift jowar flour and mix.

Sprinkle kasuri methi or mint powder along with black pepper.

Gather jowar dough into a ball. If you cannot collect it into a ball, add 1/2 tbsp extra of curd.

Do not be tempted to add more curd or liquid; else, jowar crackers will come out as chewy.

Preheat oven, airfryer, convection, otg to 160 deg c for 10 min.

An airfryer needs preheating for 3-4 min only.

Cut inot shapes and bake for 8-12 min (more or less depending on your machine)

Since jowar flour is starchy and the recipe does not use any sweetener, the crackers could look slightly brown and will have a predominant whitish hue.

Let cookies cool down before munching on maska chaska.
