How to Make Atta Jeera Biscuits at Home


Atta jeera biscuits are a crispy and flavorful snack, perfect with tea. They are made with whole wheat flour (atta) and cumin seeds (jeera), making them a healthier alternative to store-bought biscuits. These biscuits are easy to prepare and require just a few ingredients. Let’s get started!

Step-by-Step Process:

Step 1: Roasting the Jeera

Step 2: Preparing the Dough

Step 3: Rolling and Cutting
