I like your recipe. I my self like to add fine paste of chilli , garlic ginger and coriander lives in pavbhaji khakhra.
Can I use some safe preservatives in khakharas to make them last longer . I am planning to make commercially . If yes then which preservatives and proportions. Thanks
True as the recipe mentions it did not taste like the pav bhaji khakhra available in the market, but I guess that''s because these are devoid of oil and ghee... But I liked these khakhras for my evening snack to munch on something flavourful while avoiding calorie laden chips.
