Day 3 of the blogging marathon with theme “Evening Snacks / Tiffin”. I am always on the lookout for cookies that are not too sweet or are savory and when I saw this in the book, I had to try it out. Kasturi methi and cumin add such a unique flavor to these bite-size cookies and they flew out in a matter of hours. The kids loved it and I was requested to make them again.
When I bought the biscuit cutter sometime back, I was smiling looking at the smallest one since I had no idea what to do with it. Well, I was able to put that cutter to good use with these cookies. Recipe adapted from Classic Indian Cooking by Julie Sahni.
