Oats and Wheat Thins

Ingredients:

3/4 C whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp cornflour/ rice flour
2 tbsp. yellow corn meal
2 tsp milk powder
1/4 C quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 tsp cumin seeds /zeera
1 tbsp yogurt
1 tbsp kasoori methi
1/2 tsp. seasame seeds/ til
1/4 tsp. turmeric pdr /haldi
salt to taste
Oil for frying.




Method

Mix all the ingredients together and add enough water to make a firm dough.
Knead the dough gently until smooth.Roll out, using a little whole wheat flour to 2 mm. thickness. Cut them into squares using a knife.



Deep fry in hot oil untill golden on both sides, drain on a paper towel. Cool and store in an air-tight container or serve hot with ketchup or any chutney. I love to serve them with cool n fresh sour cream.

You can also bake them if you want.

Preheat oven to 325 deg F




Place crackers on a greased baking tray and bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly brown.

The crackers will appear a little soft when hot, but will get crisp once they cool
down.

Enjoy !

Clean, wash and soak the sago in approx. 1/3 cup of water for about 4 to 5 hours or till all the water is absorbed and the sago swells.

Drain the sago n make sure there is no excess water.

Now add the sago , potatoes, zeera, chilli pdr, salt, peanuts, curry leaves, cilantro and lemon juice and mix untill combined  or knead lightly. If you are using hands to mix be very carefull , dont mash the sago

Take approx 2 - 3 tablespoon sago mixture n shape it like a patty.

Shallow fry in hot oil till golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towel.

Serve hot with cilantro/mint chutney,  ketchup or sweet yogurt chutney which is made  by beating yogurt with a litte bit of sugar.

You can also add finely chopped green chillies instead of chilli pdr.

The Sago mixture can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for about 2-3 days. Just bring it to room temperature before you fry
