I know I disappeared from the blogspace for a while now, but its because I've been spending time experimenting and learning and of course, having fun in the process.. I will compensate my disappearance by flooding you with recipes over the next few days :) For starters, here's the recipe for Masala biscuits... These biscuits are super easy to make.. It will take approx 15 mins preparation time and around 12 mins baking time.. When I first made & tasted these biscuits, I was reminded of the khara biscuits we used to buy in the neighbourhood bakery during my childhood days.. Try it...You will love them...
