Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons anise seed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder or 1/2 teaspoon fennel
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (more if you like 'spicy'!)
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional)
  • 4 4 teaspoons dried coriander, leaf or 4 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons himalaya salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, gently melted or 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 120 120 ml half-fat cream (more might be necessary depending on absorbency of flour) or 100 ml milk (more might be necessary depending on absorbency of flour)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, mix rice and wheat flours, baking powder, spices, chopped curry leaf, sugar and salt.
  3. 3
    Drizzle melted butter over the flour mixture. Slowly add (coconut) milk/cream and stir with a fork. Add a bit more if necessary to achieve a consistency that enables you to bind the flours without getting too moist.
  4. 4
    Line an oven tray with a baking sheet. Take a quarter of the dough and press flat between two sheets of baking parchment. Use rolling pin to flatten to 1mm thin.
  5. 5
    Peel off top sheet and place bottom sheet containing rolled dough in a baking tray. Use a pizza cutter or wavy roller to cut dough into strips (they'll come apart after baking).
  6. 6
    Bake in the middle of oven for 25-35 minutes until the crackers are lightly browned and crispy when cooled on a wire rack.
  7. 7
    Store in an air-tight container if the air around you is humid.
