Whole wheat flour khakhra recipes are healthy. Whole wheat flour is excellent for diabetics as they will not shoot up your blood sugar levels as they are a low GI food.Whole wheat flour is rich in Phosphorus which is a major mineral which works closely with calcium to build our bones. Hence we love using whole wheat flour in these healthy khakhra recipes. We have the basic whole wheat khakhra recipe, a famous Gujarati dry snack made from whole wheat flour, salt, oil and water.
If you want your khakhra spicier, then opt for the masala khakhra recipe made from sesame seeds and chilli powder. I love to have this with some homemade curds using cows milk or low fat curds.
Oats in healthy khakhara recipes. See why we love oats. Oats are a great source of protein for vegetarians. It is rich in soluble fibre (to make it good for diabetics), which helps lower blood LDL cholesterol, the so-called "Bad" cholesterol. Whole oats have an antioxidant called Avenanthramide (a polyphenol from oats) which helps lower blood pressure levels.
