Bakery Style Baked Nippattu - Savoury Onion Crackers

Take maida, oil and butter in a bowl. Mix nicely with the tips of your fingers. It will become like breadcrumb.

To the flour add milk powder, baking soda, salt ,sugar , pepper powder , sesame seeds, onion, green chillies , coriander leaves and curry leaves . Mix the ingredients nicely with your hand.

Add warm water slowly in steps and make a tight dough .Even if you feel dough is very tight , don't add water now. When the dough rests for few minutes, moisture from onion will make the dough a bit loose. So remember not to add extra water.

Knead the dough well ,cover and keep aside for 10-15 mins. Meanwhile preheat the oven at 180 degree c for 10 mins.

Once the resting time for dough is over, divide the dough into lemon sized balls. Take 1 ball, place it in between 2 thick greased plastic sheets and roll gently to form a poori size thin disc.

Gently place the nippattu on a greased baking tray. Poke the nippattu with a fork randomly to avoid fluffing up.

Continue with the remaining dough in a similar way. Bake the nippattu for about 15-20 mins in 170 deg c . Midway flip once after 10 mins. Once done, place them on a cooling rack to cool .

Store in air tight containers. Stays crisp for at least 15-20 days.
