Butter crackers | Whole Wheat butter cracker are super healthy snacks for kids and adults. Butter gives amazing flavour to this cracker. Guilt free to munch on.
Giving healthy snacks for kids is every mom's biggest concern, well at times more than helathy, there is one big question, whether they will eat it. The one which worked yesterday may not work today.
Everyday its experimenting.Ever since Vishvak started solid food, the topic about kids food will always come whenever I talk to my friends. Whenever my friend suggest something I wanted to try.
3 course healthy meal for is one side but healthy mid- morning and evening snacks was another concern. Vishvak was initially big fan of corn puff then he started liking store brought multi grain crackers. I wanted to try something in home.

Notes
- If your doubtful about burning the dal sauté both dals separately
- Keep sauting to avoid few dal getting burnt
- Cool the dal and red Chilli well before grinding
- I have used two jar so that red Chilli is finely powdered and podi I not coarse
- Grind the podi in your preferred texture. In our home we like the podi fine
- Adjust red Chilli according to your spice level
- Adjust jaggery according to the sweetness you prefer
- Curry leaves can also be sautéd and added for extra flavour
- Store the podi in a dry clean dhabba for longer shelf life and use dry spoon
- I added a drop of oil while dusting red Chilli so that red Chilli flavour won’t get into nose. Avoid using much oil for longer shelf life

True feeding children the right kind of food is the biggest concern for mothers and if you have a fussy eater the concern just doubles. The butter crackers are wholesome for the little ones. Having whole wheat its a healthier option and lightly flavoured with cumin, the little ones are bound to love these.

Wow, these crackers look superb. At first sight,I thought those were store bought. Then only I saw the recipe. It looks very crunchy. Crunchiness is a plus when it comes to kids.
I so understand what you said. One day kids may like something and the next day, they don't even want to taste it. " Kids", right ? 🙂
