Presenting crispy and crunchy type of puri , farsi delicacy ,yes its khara puri. A perfect tea time snacks and  ideal for kids “Choti bhuk (Small hunger food )”. 
Khara puri is type of puri( indian bread) which is made using all purpose flour and spices like black peeper and jeera (cumin seeds).These spices can be powdered or used as  slightly crushed. I like using spices slightly crushed in khara puri as it tastes more crunchy.

Khara puri is tasty, spicy in and it  melts in mouth too. It can be served with pickle ,sauce or  just as  a tea time snacks. It has  good shelf life so can be carried while traveling also.
Weight watchers can use  oil Instead of ghee while making dough for puri.While making khara puri has to be pricked properly to get that perfect hardness or else it will turn into soft puri.
