I have always seen this biscuits on our family’s Diwali trays since forever.

Last year I attempted to make them last minute. They were funny shaped , some were burnt, some were raw and some were perfect lol.

This year, I rolled them out wafer thin and invested in tongs to flip them every couple of seconds.

I asked my parents what the significance was of this biscuit, but they were lost for words… apparently it is just a biscuit like any other Indian biscuit and you can shape it, which ever way you like.

I prefer circles.

Ingredients:

1 ½ x cups cake flour.

Pinch of salt

1 x tbsp. corn flour.

8 x tsp sugar.

5 x tsp sesame seeds.

½ x cup + 3 x tbsp. water.

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, except the water.

Add the water a little at a time, till a soft dough is formed.

Turn out onto a floured surface and knead.

Roll out till wafer thin.

Using a circle cook cutter, cut out rounds.

Deep fry in hot oil, till lightly golden brown… becareful as these biscuits cool they become darker in colour.
