Ingredients

2 tbsp jowar (white millet) flour
2 tbsp bajra (black millet) flour
2 tbsp ragi (nachni / red millet) flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp sesame seeds (til)
1/2 tsp fresh yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp butter

Method

Combine all the ingredients except the butter and knead into soft dough using enough warm water.
Add the butter and knead again till the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover with a damp muslin cloth and keep aside for 25 to 30 minutes till the dough proves and doubles in volume.
Divide the dough into 2 equal parts and roll out each portion into a 100 mm X 125 mm (4" x 5") sheet of 6 mm (¼") thickness.
Cut each sheet into crunchies, 100 mm (4") long and 6 mm (¼") wide.
Place crunchy on a greased baking tray at a distance of 25 mm ( 1") from each other and bake in a pre-heated oven at 140ºC (280°F) for 40 minutes or till the crunchies are crisp and golden brown.
Cool and store in an air-tight container.
