Add 1 cup oats flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour to a mixing bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon oil and mix all the ingredients well.

Gradually add water and knead into a firm dough that is smooth enough for rolling.

Take a portion of the dough and roll it between your palms to make it smooth.

Dust with flour and roll the dough into a 3-inch round.

Place the rolled khakhra on a tava over a slow flame.

Cook on one side until small blisters form on top, indicating it's cooked.

Flip the khakhra and cook the other side until lightly browned.

Press the khakhra with a muslin cloth while cooking to make it crispy.

Continue cooking on a slow flame until it becomes really crispy and brown.

Remove from heat and allow to cool before serving or storing in an airtight container.
