Making salted biscuits at home was a long time wish for me. These ajwain cookies are a perfect tea time snack. It is crispy,salty, spicy and just melts in the mouth. And not to forget the magical aroma of ajwain/carom seeds!! What more can we ask for in a savoury biscuit?!? Not knowing that these are seriosly addictive, I just made a small batch. They just vanished in 2 days..
Lets get baking!!
[Preparation Time – 10 mins : Baking Time – 15 to 18 mins]
Recipe reference-Food Food Channel
Ingredients:
- All purpose Flour – 1 1/2 cups
- Butter – 1/2 cup
- Ajwain/Carom Seeds – 1 tbsp
- Curd – 1 tbsp
- Milk – 2 to 3 tbsp(see tips)
- Salt – 3/4 tsp
- Chilli powder – 1/2 tsp (optional)
Method:
- Take butter in a wide bowl. Just whisk for a minute until it looks soft and creamy. To this add all purpose flour, salt, chilli powder, ajwain and mix until all the ingredients blend well. The mixture should look crumbly.
- To the crumbled mixture add curd and milk. Knead with light hands to form a soft dough. Pinch a portion of the dough and flatten it to a thin layer. U can use flour to dust the surface.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut into shapes as per your preference. Meanwhile pre-heat your oven to 180 deg Celsius. Place the cookies in a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake it for 15-18 mins or until the edges turn slightly brown. Let it cool completely and store in an air tight container.
Crispy and spicy ajwain cookies are ready.
Munch these addictive cookies with a cup of tea!!
Tips:
- Do not add all of the milk at once to knead the dough. Add 1 tbsp at a time to knead it into a soft dough. It will be difficult to roll if too much is added.
- Adding ajwain/carom seeds adds a magical flavour to these biscuits. U can add cumin seeds/jeera instead of it too.
- Keep an eye on the ajwain cookies after 12- 15 mins. If u over bake, it will spoil the taste.
