Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Wheat Flour atta, whole
- 1 cup Gram Flour besan
- 3 tsp Semolina suji
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar powdered
- 1/2 cup Clarified Butter
- 1 tbsp Butter softened, unsalted
- 2-3 tbsp Milk add as needed to achieve desired dough consistency
Optional Garnish
- 1/4 cup Almonds or other preferred nuts/dry fruits, sliced
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- Sift together the whole wheat flour, gram flour, semolina, baking soda, and cinnamon powder. Set aside.
Cream the Fats and Sugar
- In a separate bowl, cream together the ghee, butter, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or by hand.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add milk in small increments until a soft, pliable dough forms. Avoid adding too much milk.
Shape and Chill the Dough
- Roll the dough into a cylindrical log. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Preheat the Kadai
- Preheat your kadai (wok or deep pan) by placing coarse salt in the bottom. Add a metal stand or heatproof rack to elevate a baking plate above the salt. Cover and heat for 10-15 minutes.
Shape and Bake the Biscuits
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut it into your desired biscuit size. Garnish with sliced almonds or other desired toppings.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper.
Baking in the Kadai
- Carefully place the baking sheet into the preheated kadai. Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the biscuits halfway through for even cooking. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Cooling and Storing
- Once the biscuits are golden brown, remove the baking sheet from the kadai. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra crispy biscuits, reduce the amount of milk slightly. The dough should be firm, but not dry.
- If you don't have a kadai, you can try baking these biscuits in a low oven (around 300°F/150°C) on a baking sheet. Adjust baking time as needed.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Allow space between the biscuits for even cooking and browning.
- Experiment with different flavor combinations. Add cardamom, nutmeg, or other spices to the dough for unique flavor profiles.
