Baked Chakli Poori is a crispy and spicy Tea time delight and that too guilt free. Err, it is not deep fried at least :).

This recipe is originally Tarla Dalal’s where she made chaklis, a traditional Gujarati snack in the oven. I just adapted a bit and added few more ingredients and made this flat puris or Snackies if you want to call them. It is totally gluten free since I have used brown rice flour and urad dal flour. Make it at home and enjoy some guilt free snack. I did use butter, but you may sub it with sour cream if you want.

There are days when I go over board with food and then there are days when I eat with caution. This recipe came handy at the time when Diwali was over and I was found guilty of indulging on some rich food. Well that was Diwali and I do not want to think twice what I eat around that time of the year. So I binged and added pounds around the waist. If you ask me to let go off food, it is not gonna happen, but the only adjustment I can make is swap the indulging eating habits with better eating habits.

I am often looking for the snacks that are less guilt and equally delicious. This is one such recipe, that scores 100 on 100 on the ease of recipe, the ingredients and the less guilt quotient. I am sure that many of you are with me on this. It is easier to binge on not so healthy snacks and keep indulging but you cannot do that on regular basis. There has to be a control button on the desires to hog and not do anything about it. And whoever said that “healthy is blah”, they need to check their dictionary again. Yes, the healthy food has arrived and arrived with  bang, full of taste and deliciousness and less guilt quotient. This recipe is excellent for people who are allergic to gluten. Being baked, it makes it better on stomach and overall system.
