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.
