First roast each khakhra till it is becomes little brown in colour. Keep it aside. Then make bunch of 5 khakhra and roast on tava by placing small size pressure cooker (preferably 1-5 to 2 lit) on the top of the bunch. Just roast by moving cooker in circular manner. After every 1 min remove khakhra facing tava, now it should be placed on top facing pressure cooker, each khakhra should be roasted in this way on medium flame, with very fast movement. Otherwise khakhra will get stick to each other. Remember to roast khakhra on both sides, that is why it becomes very thin and crispy. Apply ghee on khakhra and sprinkle jiralu powder and serve.

Other Method
