Though I have heard about these melt-in-mouth Khara biscuits from Iyengar bakery I have never tasted them. A few weeks back tried the same at home and it turned out so well. We all loved the aroma of the khara biscuits and it paired well with a cup of chai. The addition of green chilis and the flavour of coriander leaves and cumin seeds enhanced the flavour of the cookies. If you are looking for a savory cookie recipe, then you should try out these easy savory cookies.

Beat the butter and sugar well until creamy.Add the yogurt to this and mix well.
Now add the flour, salt, chopped chili, and cilantro and mix well and make this into a stiff dough.
Do not knead this by adding too much pressure.
Grease the baking tray and place this on the tray.Mine yielded 10 biscuits.
Bake this in a preheated oven at 150 degrees.Bake for 15- 20 mins. Mine got done in 17 mins.The biscuit will not get brown on the top, but it will get a nice color at the bottom.We had this with a hot cup of tea and this was absolutely awesome.

You’ll see a better finish. I made the Nan Khatai according to your recipe, it was absolute yum. I felt so proud after baking it, thank you so much. Next I tried the Tutti Fruity cookies and the Khara Biscuits. They tasted good, but they were not like cookies. They were not soft and crunchy, instead little hard and floury. I followed your recipe quite exactly. Can you suggest what I may not have followed correctly. I appreciate and admire you a lot. Thank you very much.Shobha.
