Crumbly Savoury Biscuits
Gluten Free and Delicious added to any meal
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup oat groats, ground coarsely on a medium flour mill setting - if you do not have a flour mill, grind the oats in a blender or a food processor
- 2/3 cup white basmati rice, ground coarsely on a medium flour mill setting - if you do not have a flour mill, pulse in a blender or a food processor till you get a grainy texture, similar to white sugar granules in appearance
- 1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp fenugreek powder
- 1 tsp celery seeds
- 1 tsp dried coriander leaves
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 1 tbsp ghee for frying
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients (apart from the extra ghee for frying) with a fork.
- Add enough water to create a ball of sticky dough.
- Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Using hands, divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll them into balls.
- Flatten each ball into a biscuit 7-10 mm thick. Experiment with various shapes and patterns on top by using a skewer, a spoon, a pastry scraper and cookie cutters.
- Preheat a cast iron pan. I use a large pan on a large gas ring and preheat it well on low flame for ten minutes.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of ghee and fry the biscuits on one side on medium low flame for about 4 minutes, until golden.
- Flip the biscuits and fry on the other side for 2 more minutes.
- Switch the heat off and cover with a lid. Let them sit for 5 minutes before serving them.
What a clever way to include my grandkids in baking without making sugary cookies. Thanks! So creative once again!
Glad you like the recipe! Thank you so much for the comment and enjoy baking with your grandkids!
I love this idea. My granddaughter is high Vata so I hope I can slow her down long enough to “decorate” them. And she might eat some, that would be good.
I really hope she enjoys them!
I made these today morning and they are delicious!! No way really as pretty as yours but yummy all the same 🙈
I used cumin seeds, cardamom, cinnamon and thyme ☺️
Quick question Irina – I’m planning to make a sweet version of these soon and want to experiment with different flours ☺️do u think coconut flour would work instead of oat flour?
