Khaara Biscuits or Savoury Biscuits

Bite sized pieces of memories of Bangalore is the best way for me to describe these khaara biscuits. For those of you who don't have a sweet tooth this dish is a perfect savoury delight. The ginger, mint,cumin seeds, curry leaves and green chillies give a nice flavour to every bite. Enjoy :)
