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
- Make sure the watermelon rind is not spoiled. Always peel the green skin completely and also make sure the rind is without any traces of watermelon flesh
- you can grate watermelon rind and prepare halwa. I prefer grinding as it saves time and effort for grinding. If you are grating rind, increase milk
- grind according to your preferred texture. The way you grind will alter the halwa texture. I prefer fine coarse grinding
- Milk gives the best flavor for the halwa so I would recommend that. You can also prepare halwa without milk. instead of milk, you can add khoya or condensed milk. Adjust sugar according
- Always use a wide heavy-bottomed nonstick pan. Keep mixing to avoid halwa from turning brown
- Cook till halwa thicken and leave the side of the pan. Halwa turns thick even after turning off the stove so avoid cooking for a long time. That will alter the halwa texture
- if you keep halwa in the same pan it thickens and alters the texture so always transfer immediately
- You can add food color to the Halwa. I have used a pinch of saffron as it gives nice color and taste
- Since we added milk refrigerate the halwa. refrigerated halwa stays good for 3-4 days. Halwa tastes best when served Warm so microwave before serving

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 ? 🙂
