RECIPE NOTES :

Notes: Do not use icing sugar for this recipe; just grind some regular sugar in a mixie. You can use a hand blender if you prefer. Adding maida makes the cookies lighter and tastier. Both ways of baking are the same, just the baking time, temperature and the shape is a little different. Tips: Use a big cooker which has height and which can accommodate the size of your idli tray this will ensure even cooking and the biscuit get the brown colour on top. You can use a wire stand or a katori to elevate the height. You can use butter paper or parchment paper to line the baking trays.
