Though I have heard about these melt-in-mouth Khara biscuits from Iyengar bakery I have never tasted them. A few weeks back tried the same at home and it turned out so well. We all loved the aroma of the khara biscuits and it paired well with a cup of chai.

The addition of green chilis and the flavour of coriander leaves and cumin seeds enhanced the flavour of the cookies. If you are looking for a savory cookie recipe, then you should try out these easy savory cookies.
