This is something I tasted when I was a small kid from local bakery. We just call it as Nei Biscuit. But recently when I started to blog I saw this name thinking it is brand new. When I was talking to my mum she told me it is similar to what you get in local bakery. Also in Singapore when I visit local friends during festival time they serve cookies. So I thought of trying out cookies for this Diwali. Try this very simple cookie recipe. You can involve your kids in the process of making and feel the Festive mood

Nice eggless cookies. Perhaps I will try for the coming festive season. At first I was wondering what is garam flour. Later, I found out that its gram flour. Recipe will be forwarded to my friends. They certainly crave for eggless cookies.
