Zeera biscuits

This cookie goes perfectly with Indian tea. And it is also not so high in calories as are some of the cookies we find in the grocery stores here in the US. I find these sometimes at the Indian grocery stores but they seem to be so very expensive. And ofcourse when you make it, these are so fresh and yummy...CAUSE YOU MADE IT
                     They have a very distinctive flavor because of the cumin. Slighly salty and very slightly sweet and ofcourse the unmistakeably cumin flavor.
                    If you don't like cumin, you should definetly try these cookies
