Summary

Gulabs Ajwain Khakhra is seasoned appropriately. The dominant flavor is of whole wheat and carom seeds. These are bite sized khakhras which are very crispy.

Khakras are thin, cracker-like snacks that are extremely popular in India. Usually made using besan and whole wheat flour and a handful of spices, khakras are available in multiple flavors. Some common ones are methi, ajwain, and black pepper. Some brands also offer experimental flavors like pizza seasoning and peri-peri. 

We picked up a pack of Gulabs Tiny Khakhra in ajwain flavor. Gulabs is a brand that offers a wide range of sharbats, masalas, khakras and instant drinks. In our Gulabs ajwain khakhra review we discuss the price, taste, texture and the ingredients used. We tried the tiny ajwain khakhra and here is what you should know before buying it!

The salt levels are just perfect and when had with a pickle or any other condiment of your choice, it doesn’t become overbearing.

3. Shape and size

These are small khakhras and come close to our regular marie biscuits, size-wise. None of the pieces were broken.

4. Texture

Some khakras can end up being too dry and brittle. Gulabs ajwain khakras were neither. While these khakhras are fragile, they are neither too thick, nor too thin.
