Eggless Wholewheat Elaichi Biscuits

By Shilpa Khandelwal

These Eggless Wheat Sooji Atta Cookies are healthy, crunchy biscuits made with wheat flour + semolina. No maida, no eggs! Made with Dalda ghee for that traditional bakery taste.

Super simple - just 5 mins prep. The Eno + baking soda gives perfect rise while sooji adds crispness. Kids love these with milk. One of the easiest cookie recipes I’ve ever tried!

Makes: 15 cookies | Prep: 5 mins | Bake: 15 mins | Total: 20 mins | No Maida

Ingredients:

  • Whole wheat flour/Atta - 1/2 cup / 60g
  • Semolina/Sooji/Rava - 1/2 cup / 80g
  • Dalda ghee/Vanaspati - 1/2 cup / 100g, melted
  • Icing sugar - 3/8 cup / 45g
  • Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
  • Eno fruit salt - 1/8 tsp, plain
  • Chopped pistachios - 1 Tbsp
  • Chopped almonds - 1 Tbsp
  • Milk - 1-2 Tbsp, if needed
  • Cardamon (Elaichi) - 1/4 tsp
Method / Instructions:

  1. Mix dry: Mix wheat flour, sooji, icing sugar + baking soda + Elaichi (Cardmon) in a bowl.
  2. Add ghee: Add melted Dalda ghee. Mix with hands till crumbly.
  3. Add Eno: Last step - add Eno fruit salt + 1 tsp milk. Mix quickly. Dough will bubble slightly.
  4. Nuts: Add chopped pistachios + almonds. Mix gently.
  5. Shape: Make small balls and flatten. Place on baking tray.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven 160°C for 10 mins. Bake 15 mins till edges turn light brown.
  7. Cool: Cool completely. Cookies crisp up after cooling.

Important Tips

1. Eno trick: Add Eno at the end and bake immediately. Eno works fast - delay = flat cookies.

2. Dalda ghee: You can use butter or pure ghee too. Dalda gives old bakery taste.

3. No maida: 100% atta + sooji makes these fiber-rich and healthier.

4. Don’t overbake: 15 mins at 160°C only. They look soft but harden when cool.
