Ingredients

Preparation

We begin making the Iyengar Style Whole Wheat and Oats Khara Biscuit Recipe (Savory Cookie Recipe) by pre heating the oven to 180 degree Celsius for 10 minutes.

Mix all the ingredients for the iyengar biscuits into a bowl untill it binds. You should not get them to a regular cookie dough consistency, it needs to be a bit crumbly. You can also use a food processor to combine all the ingredient. I prefer using hand so that I know exactly how much milk is needed.

Shape the Iyengar Biscuits into round and flat shaped cookies and place them on a baking sheet/ tray. You can make pattern on top of the cookies with a fork. You can make stripes or holes in them.

Bake them in the oven for about 30 minutes untill you see a golden crust and it is crisp. Once done, take them out of the oven and allow the cookies to rest on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes until it cools down completely. The Iyengar biscuits will continue to cook and get crisp white it is resting on the wire rack and hence it’s important to do this process.

Once done, you can store these Oats & Whole Wheat Khara Biscuits in an air tight container. It will stay fresh for a few days.

You can indulge on your guilt free healthy tea time snack with your chai/coffee.
