Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup maida / all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup wheat flour / atta
  • 1/2 tablespoon pepper powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • a pinch baking soda
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoon oil
  • 1/4 cup milk as reqd to knead to a stiff dough

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, sugar, salt and oil.
  • Add the milk and knead to a stiff dough till its not sticky.
  • Roll the dough to about 2mms thick, but this didn't work out for me as I cudn't roll it evenly so what I did was to press it in the roti maker, this way it was easy and quick!
  • Using a cookie cutter cut into round shapes, I used a lid to cut it.
  • Now bring together the remaining scrapings, roll out again and repeat the process till the entire dough gets over.
  • Pre heat the oven at 180 deg C for 10mins.
  • Grease the baking tray, arrange the cookies and place the tray in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 20mins.
  • Jeera Biscuits ready!
  • Remove the cookies from the oven, allow it to cool and then store Jeera Cookies in an air tight container.
