I want to share this and also a small story related to this..Actually this is my Aunt's recipe, she lives in Raichur, India. Whenever we(all my cousins) used to go to her place she used to make biscuits/cakes/icecreams or whenever she came to visit us in Bangalore/Mysore she used to bring these biscuits. When my parents saw my interest in baking they bought me an Oven. I took this recipe from her started making this for my cousins and my friends. Lets say this became one of my patent recipes in those days. Then after i got married and used to make this too in mumbai, for my in-laws. Once we moved to US, almost after 3 years I made these yummy biscuits again.. So thanks to my aunt for this tasty recipe.
