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
- You can add urad dal while tempering
- Grated Carrots and coriander leaves can also be used for garnish
- Instead of adding milk, you can cook in water and add curd after Semiya comes to room temperature
- The dish can also be served without refrigerating
- If it consumed after a longtime curd semiya might become thick. Add curd/water/ milk accordingly
- I have used roasted semiya, so I have not roasted it again. If you are using regular Semiya roast and add
- Use ginger while tempering if you don't have ginger powder
- Always use soft dates. if dates are hard microwave for a minute and use

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 ? 🙂
