Jeera Biscuit- Delicious Crisp Cumin flavored bakery style biscuits

Jeera biscuit are typical Indian bakery style biscuits,which are heavily flavored with the rich aroma of cumin and are sweet and salty in taste sooo different from the readily available sweet cookies popular now a days.

They taste great any time but are awesome with tea,so many childhood memories with these flavorful biscuits.These jeera biscuits are kept hidden in a big glass jar in my grand fathers personal almirah and at tea time he himself take out a plate full to distribute among all present at tea time and I often got some bonus biscuits .

The freshly baked  jeera biscuits taste heavenly and you can also add some ajwain/carom seeds along with cumin seeds or can only use ajwain for a change of taste. Jeera biscuit Taste great both ways.
