Osmania Biscuits


 Osmania biscuits are popular in Irani cafes of Hyderabad and these biscuits got the name of the last ruler of Osman Ali Khan. Osmani biscuit,is a short bread kind of cookies with a balance of sweet and salt taste.These cookies are melt in mouth,can be accompanied with a cup of tea.Making these biscuits is pretty simple with the basic ingredients.

My kids love the store bought Osmania biscuits and it has been in my to do list since so long.Finally for the Bake-A-Thon,I tried and it tastes almost the store bought ones.

In some of the recipes saffron infused milk is used for brushing which gives a nice flavor and color to the cookies.But I was not sure about the taste and flavor of saffron in cookies,so I skipped it and brushed wit the regular milk.

Sweet Adai /Inippu Adai

Today is the final day for the Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon edition ans I like to end the series with a sweet note. Coming to the recipe its a sweet adai which is often made in our households for quick neivedhyam for offering to god..So many variations can be made using wheat flour,maida,ragi flour and sometimes with semolina. Today's version I used both wheat and all purpose flour along with rice flour.Since sweetener is used to make the batter this adai needs to be cooked in a medium flame,otherwise the color will turn dark.Here I used jaggery,even palm sugar and brown sugar can also be used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sweet Adai/Inippu Adai                                                                         Basic Information    Pre
