• How It Is Made: Dough made from whole wheat, millet flour, oats flour, rice bran oil, and authentic herbs is rolled into thick, rounded disks and slow-roasted on low heat until crisp. Each batch is sealed using internal vacuum packaging.
• Why It Is Important: This bhakhri is roasted rather than deep-fried, with whole wheat, millet, and oats forming its grain base. Rice bran oil is included in the recipe.
• Where the Method Came From: Inspired by classic Gujarati and Maharashtrian home kitchens, where thick whole-grain bhakhris were roasted slowly on tawas with indigenous spices to serve as long-lasting breakfast fuel for field workers and travelers.
• Why It Is Necessary These Days: Provides a thick, hearty, roasted option for those who prefer a sturdier crunch than thin khakhras, whether as a snack or alongside a meal.

Behind every box of our Roasted Bhakhri is our shared commitment to clean-label manufacturing, artisan dedication, and genuine grain integrity.

The Origin: Solving the Healthy Snacking Problem

One of our customers put it simply: "You have solved our problem for the healthy khakhra." That feedback captures exactly why we chose to partner with hands-on producers who treat food as nourishment rather than just an industrial product. We wanted a roasted flatbread with a clearly listed grain base, recognisable spices, and a maker we knew. To bring that idea to the range, we connected with the right maker at the source.

The Creator: Tushar & Matchless, Nashik

In Nashik, our friend Tushar runs Matchless with a singular focus: bringing millet-rooted recipes to Indian households. Tushar built a manufacturing setup dedicated to traditional grains and roasted snacks:

• Whole-Grain & Millet Base: Blends whole wheat, millet flour, and oats flour for a hearty grain base and distinctive texture.
• Rice Bran Oil: This Bhakhri uses rice bran oil (8%) in its recipe, with no palm oil or vanaspati.
• Whole, Ground-Fresh Spices: No artificial flavor enhancers or pre-packaged commercial masala mixes. Only pure Kasuri Methi, ajwain, cumin, black pepper, and Lakadong high-curcumin turmeric used the traditional way for authentic depth and natural aroma.

Matchless brings together whole wheat, millet, oats, rice bran oil, and traditional spices in this roasted recipe. Our regular customers stock these bhakhris as an everyday kitchen staple for their families.

• General Storage (Before Opening): Store unopened boxes in a cool, dry, and hygienic pantry away from direct sunlight, stove heat, high humidity, and pest exposure. Keep the outer carton sealed until ready for use.
• Storage After Opening: Once the inner vacuum pouch is opened, transfer any remaining bhakhris immediately into a clean, completely dry, airtight glass or stainless-steel container. Do not leave the inner pouch open in ambient air, as natural grain fiber easily absorbs surrounding moisture.
• How to Restore Crispness (If it softens): Exposure to humid air may cause the bhakhris to lose a bit of their snap. To restore fresh-baked crispness:
  1. Dry Tawa Method (Recommended): Heat a flat iron tawa/pan on low flame for 1 minute. Place the bhakhri on the dry tawa and warm each side for 30–45 seconds without adding any oil or ghee. Let it cool on a dry plate for 1 minute—it will snap right back to its crisp texture!
  2. Oven/Air Fryer Method: Warm in a preheated oven or air fryer at 140°C for 1 to 2 minutes, then allow it to cool completely before eating.
