**This recipe was first published on 11th February 2011. This post is now updated with new pictures & a video** There are very few people who do not relish a biryani. I am a total lover of everything rice and biryanis are my all time favourite. I try at least one new type of biryani once in a month or two.

Nankhatai | Indian Shortbread Cookies
This recipe was first published on 4 Nov 2015. Recipe Updated on 28 Oct 2021 with a new video A couple of years ago my childhood friend Veda shared her recipe for the nankhatai, a lovely Indian sweet biscuit that is usually prepared during the festive season.

Biscuit Rotti + Video!
Biscuit Rotti is a puffy-poori like snack with a savoury, sweet & spicy filling. It’s crispy yet hard exterior is probably what gives it it’s name as it mimics a biscuit which is also crisp and snaps when broken. This is one of the most famous snacks loved by people in and around Mangalore. Since it is a dry snack with a longer shelf life than most other preparations, people usually buy it in the mornings with the intention of doubling it up as a tea time snack too. The flavours of sweet-spicy-savoury are so remarkable with a hot cup of tea or coffee, especially during the monsoons.
