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.
Couple of months go I was talking to my friend Malar, whenever we talk it will be atleast for an hour and on that Blogging topic will be for less than 5 minutes. One such day I told trying some snacks for LO and she suggested Whole wheat Crackers.
As I was looking for some healthy cracker it pulled my attention and I checked her recipe. I did veryfew changes. It was a success at home, and called her to tell that it turned good and I will post soon. Well she knows my ” soon” 😉 Here I am posting in few months😜

Notes
- If you don’t have evaporated milk, condensed milk can be used instead. Use 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup (according to your taste). Adjust the sugar accordingly
- Condensed milk payasam tends to thicken overtime. Adjust the milk quantity accordingly
- Vermicelli can be cooked in water and add milk after that
- Raisins, almonds etc. can be used for extra flavor and taste
- Can add saffron for extra flavour
- Avoid closing the payasam with a lid while cooking. It might make the payasam watery
- If you don't have time to stir take a pressure cooker add vermicelli and ghee cook for a minute; add 2 cups of milk and cover the lid. Cook till the steam comes.Once when pressure releases naturally add remaining milk and condensed milk and salt, cook for 3-5 minutes, switch off. Add sugar
- Payasam can be made without condensed and evaporated milk. Boil little extra milk for longer time and reduce it for Paal payasam texture

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.
