Holi is long gone, but I couldn't resist making thandai cookies with semolina using homemade thandai mix. The best thing about these crunchy munchies is that these are chemical free and amazingly fragrant and delicious.
What are the takeaways?
- Sweetened with organic jaggery - replacing calorie-laden refined sugar in my kitchen pantry
- No baking powder/soda - baking without chemicals, preservatives
- Flavored with thandai powder- homemade natural thandai powder adds a spicy, flavorful twist to the Indian sooji biscuits
It's a wrong perception that jaggery cookies turn soggy/chewy after a few days. One cookie experiment after another with jaggery has proved that jaggery cookies, too, remain crunchy (crispy) days after baking.
