Atta Biscuits | Atta Nankhatai

Nankhatai is an excellent tea time snacks. It is usually made with all purpose flour alias maida. I was searching for more fiber version. I tried these biscuits with whole wheat flour and Sooji. Cardamom and pista adds more flavor to the recipe. A healthier snacks treat to kids. Adapted the recipe from here.
