Masala Biscuit Recipe

Cookies are an excellent way to snack with or without a beverage to wash them down with. And while cookies and biscuits may mostly be condiments of the Western Hemisphere, Indian bakeries and chai tapris (street side tea stalls) too have a spicy version of the baked goodie – masala biscuits.

Masala Biscuits are like your regular cookies and biscuits, only with the added zest of whole and ground spices that give the biscuit an added saltiness and flavour. These biscuits are best enjoyed with some piping hot chai or filter coffee. Follow the simple recipe below bake a batch of delicious masala biscuits at home!
