Khara Biscuit | Masala Biscuit

by Jiya Jesh · Updated on July 15, 2022 Baking| Eggless Baking| Snacks

This recipe is an Iyengar bakery khara biscuit that is a specialty from Karnataka in South India. I wanted to try baking these spicy masala biscuits instead of the usual sweet cookies.

These biscuits are savoury, crispy and tasty.
