Evening tea with khakhra

This was today's evening tea😊
Thought I will share it with all my blogger friends😊

The crispy Chappathy (wheat roti) like bread on the plate is 'Khakhra'. I bought this the other day when I shopped at the mall nearby. Not familiar in South India, so I thought let me give a try when I saw this new item displayed on the shelf along with 'pappadoms'.
 
Khakhra is actually a Gujarati dish. It is made with wheat flour. The dough is prepared with water, a little salt, oil and masala, a handful it is then taken, which is spread just like chappati but pressed again in low heat using wooden press until it gets flattened into pappad like thickness. This is its difference from chappati; Chappathies are thicker than Khakhras. Khakhras are crispy, thin and very tasty.

Beautifully packed! Could see khakhra inside looking golden brown.
We bought 'Punjabi masala khakhra'. It was a little spicy. Yummy!

The dip that you see on the picture was tomato puree with red chilly and a little salt. We prepare it at home with chopped tomatoes warming in a pan with a little salt and red chilly powder; the mixture then blended well in a blender. No oil needed. (Name of the dish? Is it passata? Is it simple tomato puree? Salsa? Tomato sauce? I don't know, really!) Ok, let it be chilly tomato dip ðŸ˜Š

We buy Pomegranate whenever they are available in shops. Love it😊
