These cookies are utterly delicious. Warning: you cant stop with one. I am always on the lookout for something savory but not fried and this is a good thing to have in hand. This is almost like a baked 'thattai' depending on what spices you use. Ofcourse, its not a match for the deep fried golden circle my mother makes, but it is close :) These will stay in a airtight container for a week or more. I did not get a chance to test as the batch I made got over the same day and I didnt even manage to take a picture of them before dishing it out :(. Have to make do with the picture of uncooked cookies, (uncooked cookies sounds strange)
What I used:-
Maida ( Refined flour / All purpose flour) - 1 cup (almost 150 grams)
Cooking oil (Sunflower/ Vegetable) - 50 ml
salt
Sesame - 1 tbsp
Fresh methi -2 tbsp ( If using kasuri methi use1 tbsp)
Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp ( Adjust according to taste, you can skip this too)
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Baking powder - 1 tsp
How I did :-
- Sieve maida, salt and baking powder together in a bowl.
- Add all the ingredients except oil and give it a mix.
- Now add the oil and knead into a dough. The consistency should be like a soft chapati dough or like a normal cookie dough. Add cold water as needed.
- Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and rest it in the refrigerator for 15 mins.
- Line a tray with cookie sheet.
- Split the dough into 2 or 3 parts and roll each part into a thickness of 2-3mm. Now cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter and place them on the cookie sheet
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degree for 12 minutes or till the cookies are golden brown.
Enjoy!
