How to make Atta Biscuit Recipe

  1. Step 1

    Take a bowl and mix sugar and water. Set it aside.

  2. Step 2

    In another mixing bowl, combine wheat flour, semolina, fine ground sugar, cardamom powder, sesame seeds, salt, and ghee. Mix well.

  3. Step 3

    Gradually add the sugar water and knead the mixture into a soft dough.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the dough into three parts. Shape each part into a cylindrical form, press gently with your palm, and cut into small pieces.

  5. Step 5

    Flatten the pieces lightly and use a chamak or similar tool to create designs on them.

  6. Step 6

    Heat oil to medium temperature. Fry the dough pieces carefully in medium-hot oil, one by one, without touching them.

  7. Step 7

    Turn the pieces occasionally while frying until they are lightly golden and crispy.
