These Masala Super-Seed Crackers blend traditional Indian spices with wholesome seeds for a savory crunch. Makes 48 pieces.

📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup flax seeds
• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds (unsalted )
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds (unsalted )
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (toasted and coarsely ground)
• 1 teaspoon ajwain (carom, lightly crushed in the palm of your hand)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves (crushed)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the seeds, psyllium husk and spices. Add hot water and mix well. Let it sit for about 15 minutes until it becomes thick and gelatinous.
2. 2Preheat the oven to 325 F.
3. 3Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the mixture onto the center. Using a silicone spatula, spread it out into a thin, even layer, aiming for roughly a 10" x 15" rectangle (about 3mm thick). Getting it nice and even ensures every cracker achieves that signature crispiness.
4. 4For a neat look, you can optionally score the surface into squares using a pizza cutter. You can do this right at the start (my preferred way), wait until it is halfway through baking, or simply leave it as is to break into rustic, organic pieces later.
5. 5Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes.
6. 6Rotate the tray to ensure an even bake, then return it to the oven for a final 20 to 25 minutes until the pieces are lightly golden and crisp.Note: Every oven is different, so you may need a little more or less time. Its best to check the crackers about 5 to 10 minutes before the timer goes off. You are looking for a firm touch and a lightly golden hue. If the edges are browning too fast simply lower the heat slightly.
7. 7Let them cool completely. They will crisp up significantly as they cool.
