- Crumble the mixture in your palm and mix well
- The mixture should hold together when pressed

- To make khara biscuit, use a small cookie or biscuit cutter
- Flour your working surface with maida or atta
- Slowly roll out the dough into a slightly thick round
- Cut rounds/biscuits from the thick rolled out sheet, cut as many as you can
- Line baking tray with parchment paper and pre-heat oven to 180 Deg C
- Place the biscuits on baking sheet on a wired mat or just like that
- Bake at 180 Deg C for 12-15 minutes or till they turn crisp and golden, you might have to keep for 2-3 minutes extra or less depending on your oven
- Let them cool
- Cover and store in an air tight container and enjoy with coffee/tea!
Don't add yogurt all at one go, add slowly and knead the dough
Do not over work the dough, the biscuits will become hard and chewy
Do not add less melted butter, the biscuits turn out flaky only because of butter
Adjust spice as per your taste
