Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Otto's Cassava Flour
  • 3 tbsps Tapioca flour
  • 1 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt
  • 1 tsp Ajwain / Carom seeds
  • 3 tbsps Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsps Pure Desi Ghee (Use avocado or coconut oil as a Vegan alternative)
  • ½ tsp Turmeric powder
  • Luke warm water as needed
  • 1-2 tsp Avocado oil if baking
  • 3-4 tbsps Avocado oil if shallow frying

Basic Tomato Basil topping

  • 1 Tomato
  • 4-5 Basil Leaves finely chopped
  • Himalayan Sea Salt as per taste
  • Chilli Flakes as per taste
  • ½ tsp Balsamic Vinegar

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl combine cassava flour, tapioca, salt, carom seeds and mix well until well incorporated
  • Next add in the olive oil and ghee (or the Vegan alternative) and combine until you get a crumbly texture
  • Then add in turmeric powder and mix well
  • Next create a small well / gap in the mixture and start by adding the luke warm water 2 tablespoons at a time and start combining the dough until it all comes together into a nice dough ball
  •  Working with this dough can be a little tricky so add water in instalments to allow your dough to come together
  • Make sure your dough is not too hard or too soft
  • If baking Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  • Take 2 pieces of parchment paper and on one place a small portion of the dough that you just prepared press it a bit against the parchment with both your hands, cover it with another parchment paper and press it with both your hands once again
  • Next roll it out as thin as possible using a rolling pin
  •  Dont worry if a part of your dough breaks just concentrate on thinning evenly
  • Next use different shapes of cookie cutters and carve out fun shapes out of your thinly rolled out dough
  • Alternatively you can also use a pizza cutter or a knife and carve them out into small sqaures to save time
  • If baking transfer these shapes / sqaures to a baking pan lined with a sheet of parchment paper and drizzle 1 teaspoon of avocado oil across the crackers (use more if desired)
  • Use an application brush to make sure each of the cracker has atleast a lil bit of an oil coating
  • Bake them for 25 mins
  • Remove, let cool and enjoy!
  •  If shallow frying these crackers add 4 tablespoons of avocado oil to a heated skillet
  • When adequately hot place these crackers on the pan and cook them on each side for 2-3 mins
  • One way to know that they are done from either side is when they will start puffing up - which is also an indicator of how crispy they are going to be
  • Turn them over and cook from other side for 2-3 mins again until beautiful golden brown
  • Drain the excess oil on the skillet itself and remove them out on a plate lined with a tissue paper (to soak any oil that the cracker might still be carrying)
  • Let cool and enjoy as is or alongwith a favourite topping / dip!

Basic Tomato Basil Dip

  • Combine tomato, basil leaves, salt and chilli flakes as seasoning alongwith 1/2 a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar in a mixing bowl and use as topping
