By Shilpa Khandelwal

These Eggless Masala Biscuits are savory, crispy tea-time cookies made with curry leaves, sesame seeds + coriander. No eggs, no sugar!

The aroma when these bake is absolutely heavenly - like fresh bakery masala biscuits. They’re lightly salty-sweet, super addictive, and perfect with chai or coffee. Made with yogurt instead of eggs for binding.

Makes: 20 biscuits | Prep: 10 mins | Bake: 15 mins | Total: 25 mins | Savory Cookies

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour/Maida - 1 cup / 135g
  • Butter, soft - 8 Tbsp / 100g
  • Sesame seeds/Til - 1 Tbsp
  • Curry leaves - 1 Tbsp, torn into small pieces, optional
  • Coriander leaves/Dhania - 1 Tbsp, chopped finely
  • Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Salt - 1 tsp, adjust to taste
  • Sugar - 1/2 tsp, for balance
  • Yogurt/Curd - 3 Tbsp, thick

Method / Instructions

  1. Dry mix: In a bowl, mix maida, salt, sugar + red chilli powder.
  2. Add flavors: Add sesame seeds, torn curry leaves + chopped coriander. Mix.
  3. Butter: Add soft butter. Rub with fingertips till crumbly texture.
  4. Dough: Add yogurt 1 Tbsp at a time. Mix to firm dough. Do not knead. If needed, add 1 tsp water.
  5. Roll & cut: Roll dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutter or knife into squares/diamonds.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven 160°C for 10 mins. Bake 15 mins till edges turn light golden. Center should be crisp.
  7. Cool: Cool completely on wire rack. They become extra crispy after cooling.

Pro Tips for Masala Biscuits

1. Curry leaves: Tear by hand, don’t chop. Tearing releases more aroma. Optional if kids don’t like.

2. Yogurt: Use thick hung curd. Watery curd will make dough sticky. Yogurt replaces eggs here.

3. Salt-sweet balance: That 1/2 tsp sugar is secret! It balances chilli + brings out flavors. Don’t skip.

4. Crispiness:** Bake till edges are golden. Underbaked = soft. Cool completely before storing or they’ll turn soggy.

5. Storage: Stays crisp 15 days airtight. Add few rice grains in monsoon.

Variation: Skip chilli + sugar for plain salt biscuits. Add 1/4 tsp ajwain/carom seeds for digestion.
