Masala Biscuits/ Khara Biscuits

The very thought of baking these savoury cookies made my mouth water. I can remember my school days when i would wait for saturday and my father would buy these yummy crunchy and buttery cookies from the famous Iyengar Bakery!!!!I baked these and can say that these cookies have the same texture and taste that I had tasted in the Iyengar Bakery.

Now add the coriander, curry leaf , chillies and sesame to this and mix well.
Add the necessary amount of milk to knead this into a dough
Dust the work surface and roll this dough into a rectangle 1/4" in thickness.
Using a cookie cutter or just a knife cut out shapes from this dough.
Place these cookies in the prepared sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.(Mine was done in 18 minutes)
