Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup sattu flour
  • 1/4 cup jackfruit flour
  • 1/4 cup sesame and ground flax powder
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seed powder
  • 1/2 cup grated coconut
  • 3 tbsp jaggery powder organic
  • 2 tbsp A2 organic ghee
  • 2 tsp cold-pressed virgin coconut oil
  • 1 tsp fennel powder/cardamom powder
  • Salt as per taste

Method
 

  1. Mix ghee, oil, and jaggery powder.
  2. Whisk until light and fluffy.
  3. Add fennel seeds or cardamom powder and salt.
  4. Drop in the sattu flour, jackfruit flour, grated coconut, pumpkin seed powder, and flax powder.
  5. Mix gently. Avoid kneading.
  6. If you knead it, the cookie will turn out to be chewy.
  7. Just mix and gather.
  8. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees for 5 minutes.
  9. Roll out into thick chapatis and cut into cookie shapes.
  10. Use a fork to make insertions into the cookie.
  11. Since we are not using any raising agent, the insertions will help make the cookie soft and crunchy.
  12. Place the greased tray and bake at 170 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until the top browns a little.
  13. Allow the cookie to cool down.
  14. Relish and enjoy.
Power tips and variations
  1. We can alternate jackfruit flour with raw banana flour too.
  2. Add chopped nuts if they suit you.

Notes

The tropical jackfruit contains Vitamin A, Vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron.
  • The high-fiber content in jackfruit and the lower glycemic load make it a treat to relish for those who have diabetes too.
  • Adding sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, and ground flax makes it rich in phytochemicals, calcium, magnesium, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
