Mix wheat flour, behan flour, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, chili powder, carom seeds, kasuri methi, asafoetida, and salt in a bowl.

Add water gradually and knead to form a smooth dough.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Flatten each ball and roll it out into a thin circle on a floured surface.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and press gently to adhere.

Heat a tava or skillet over medium heat until hot.

Place the rolled khakra on the tava and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

Flip and cook the other side, pressing with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Cook until both sides are crisp and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes total.

Remove from heat and brush lightly with oil if desired.

Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
