Steps In Making
- Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at @160C /320F for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl add all the dry ingredients- whole wheat flour, oats flour, rice flour, salt, chopped cashews, roasted sesame seeds and jaggery powder and mix till everything is well combined.
- Now add ghee/clarified butter, little at a time and gently mix it with the rest of the ingredients. Do not knead it, else the biscuits will turn hard.
- Now add some milk and mix till it comes together.
- Take all the mixture and from it into a log. Press from the sides and top and give it a smooth rectangular shape.
- Now gently wrap the log in a foil paper and lock it from both the ends. Now keep it in the refrigerator for around 30 minutes.
- Once it has chilled, remove the foil from the log and slice them with a sharp knife.
- Place the sliced biscuits on a tray lined with parchment paper for around 12-15 minutes @160C /320F or until it gets a light golden colour on the top.
- Once done, the sides will become slightly hard but the center will still be little soft. Once it cools down, it will become firm.
- To bake it on a gas stove, place a kadai on medium flame and add regular salt and then place a rack on it. Now cover it with a lid and let it heat for 10 minutes.
- Now carefully place the plate of atta biscuits in the hot kadai.
- Cover it with a lid and bake on low flame for around 18-20 minutes or until it gets a light golden colour.
- Once the atta biscuits are done, remove them from the kadai and let them cool down.
- Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for upto a month.
Recipe Notes
- To make oats flour, grind the rolled or instant oats in the mixer grinder or a food processor for couple of minutes or until they get a smooth fine texture.
- You can replace rice flour with semolina/suji.
- You can use any nuts of your choice, almonds also tastes great.
- Do not knead the mixture else the biscuits will become hard, just mix till well combined.
- You can store the log in the freezer for upto 3 months. Just thaw them for couple of hours in the refrigerator before slicing them and baking them fresh.
- Line the baking tray with parchment paper and then grease it with ghee to avoid the cookies from sticking to the bottom.
- Every oven is different, so try and check the cookies couple of minutes before the given time.
- Always place the baking tray in the middle rack, and use the baking mode, when both the rods are on, this will give you even baking from all sides.
