Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Besan
  • 1/2 cup Jowar Flour
  • 15 Almonds
  • 1/4 cup Ghee
  • 3/4 cup Unrefined Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Cardamom Powder
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. Start with making Almond powder in a mixer. Keep it coarse if you like the bites in between or make it fine incase kids don't like chunks.

  2. Next put the oven on preheat and start working on making the dough.

  3. In bowl add both Besan and Jowar, baking soda and salt and mix it nicely.

  4. In separate deep bowl add ghee and sugar and with a help of a spatula or a whisker mix these two till it changes to light brown or off white color. Basically the sugar starts melting and mixes with ghee. The more you mix this, crispier the cookies turn in my experience.

  5. Next is add the flour mix one spoon at a time in the ghee mixture and keep mixing in one direction.

  6. After it becomes dry add more milk and keep add the flour mix.

  7. Once all the dry mix is added , use hands to gently bring the dough together. Do not knead it but just make a one big lump.

  8. Now you can either store this in refrigerator for 30 mins and bake later or directly roll the dough and cut in desired shapes and give your design and put this for baking at 180 degrees for 10 mins. You can then flip it and bake for another 5 mins incase yours is a micro cum convection. For OTG direct 10 mins is 15 in good.

  9. Let it sit in the oven for 10 mins and then put it on a wire rack to cool down. They will turn crispy as they cool down. Store them in airtight containers.
