SWEET ‘N’ SALTY AJWAIN /OMA BISCUIT | HOMEMADE BISCUITS
I love the salty,crispy biscuits flavoured with omam(carom seeds in English) those we get in bakeries … I love that smell a lot,smells divinely! I wanted to try my hands baking them too..so I was searching for the recipe.I bookmarked one which sounded easy to try, also it was with ajwain.
So I tried that one,though its not salty(its sweet and salty) the biscuits turned out very tasty and flavourful! I could smell my childhood memories …
.I made few changes to the recipes..
So I tried that one,though its not salty(its sweet and salty) the biscuits turned out very tasty and flavourful! I could smell my childhood memories …
.I made few changes to the recipes..Ingredients:
| All purpose flour/Maida | 1 & 1/2 cup |
| Oil (I used sunflower oil) | 1/4 cup |
| Ghee or butter | 1 tsp |
| Ajwain/Omam/Carom seeds | 1 tsp heaped |
| Salt | 3/4 tsp |
| Sugar | 1 & 1/2 tblsp |
| Milk | 6 tblsp |
| Curd | 1 tblsp |
Method:
- In a bowl,mix well flour,oil,ghee,ajwain,salt,sugar and curd until the mixture is crumbly in look.(I forgot and added milk,hehe)
- Then add the milk and knead it to a smooth dough.
- It should not have cracks. If you think you need more milk(add 1 or 2 tsp to make it smooth).
- Roll into a thin layer,in well dusted platform/counter top. Then use a cookie cutter of your desired shape and cut it out to biscuits. Prick with fork to prevent puffing up.
- Preheat oven to 1800C and bake these biscuits in a greased baking tray for 13-15 minutes or until the edges of the biscuit starts to turn golden brown in colour.
- I divided the dough to two and baked in two batches. My cookie cutter was a tiny one. So I had to cut it with ‘a bit extra’ effort.. You can use a big cookie cutter and finish the job with ease.
- Store in airtight container and enjoy these truly flavourful crispies…Tastes and smell more ‘bakery’ style from the next day of baking.
Also sending my post Baby corn manchurian which I tried from Nag’s Edible garden to Jayasri ravi’s Blogger marathon event..

Hi Raks, Thanks for trying and adapting my recipe,biscuits are looking delicious...Awesome pics!
Wow!!!!wonderful i wonder how can you make such a delicious, in tempting way.
You step-by-step snaps are simply superb.
Thanks for sharing
Wow..!! Your biscuits came out perfect!! I tried this recipe but mine came out a bit flat. (not sure why)!!!
I followed the steps and the ingredients to the T.
Are we supposed to add Baking powder to make them rise a bit?
P.S - They tasted great!!
I dint add anything other than I have mentioned, I think the biscuits wont rise much, if you see mine before baking also its bit thick ...so its about how thick we have rolled... Thanks for the feedback :)
Hi,
Your biscuits looked wonderful & i tried them the same way. But ajwain dint give gr8 taste for me though. Since, you have mentioned 1 tsp Heaped ajwain, i tried similarly but that taste resulted in not so tasty one.
Should, ajwain be added in heap? What is the main significance of adding ajwain?
Kindly, explain.
I have tried many of ur other recipes, it turned out good. Thanks
healthy snack.... just made a batch of these....the house smells great and crackers tastes so good and flavorfull another keeper from u dear :) thanks a ton for sharing.....
Hi,
