Baked Whole Wheat Masala Flour Puri (Spicy Whole Wheat Flour Crackers)

Health awareness everywhere; Counting the calories you consume; Every time you want to eat something tasty and oily you have to think and rethink. But now do not worry. I have tried to make the lesser calorie version of  fried masala puris which we use to relish in our childhood.  So enjoy this baked version of the fried puris guilt free.

I have also made it with more healthier by using whole wheat flour. They taste as good as the fried puris.

They can be stored airtight and can stay for 15 days. They will taste a little hard on the day you make them but will become more soft and crisp the next day. A very good munching snack. They can be prepared during the festivals and enjoyed guilt free. A very good option for kids lunch box. Also really handy during travels.
