Singhare Ke cookies or fasting biscuits made of water caltrop










Fast.....Well i take it as cleansing of body and detoxifying system....
But when it comes to fasting only fruit diet gets boring as day moves ahead.
I'm one person who loves to have tea with that tag of biscuit along and when its fasting time i cant find my tea tasty without biscuits so i gave this thought and come up with this creative experiment of mine.
Here its Water caltrop or water chestnut biscuits and cookies to give fasting day that extra zing.

2 cups singhare ka atta
3/4th cup powdered suga
1/2 cup desi ghee (clarified butter)
1/2 tsp elaichi powder/ cardamom powder



Preheat oven at 180C
Knead batter/ atta with singhara atta + sugar and butter and a bit of water.

















Then I made the balls,
they were little uneven so i decide to cut them with biscuit cutter
and here i had more perfect or say creative cookies






Roll out dough like chapati, if it sticks either use lil singhara atta or roll between clean polythin sheet





Cut in desired shapes

 



Now put the tray in preheated oven for 10 mins for 180D

Ready to get baked and voila here its done in no time...





I wanted to ensure they are completely baked so I flipped them over and baked them for a further 10 minutes...



 And here they are the ready to bite vrat or say fast food oopps!!! not fast food but fasting food the biscuits for that special tea for those like me who cant have tea without dipping the biscuits into it.
