Atta Biscuit Recipe in Pressure Cooker – Cookies Recipes.

Total Time: 50 minutes

Atta Biscuits are a ‘Desi’ version of cookies to me. They are light, crispy, eggless and more importantly, easy to bake. Even you would agree with the fact that nothing tastes better than a biscuit dipped in ‘chai’ and we Indians have a distinct emotion attached to this way of enjoying it. Teatime is probably the best time of the day, with Indians gossiping over a hot cup of chai and Atta Biscuits being the mandatory complement.

We always think that making cookies at home is very tough and one will require oven or microwave to bake it. But it’s too easy and i am showing you a way to make it in pressure cooker.

I have also made Vanilla Sugar cookies but i baked this in oven. You can also check my recipes Suji cake, Eggless Biscuit cake and chocolate cake

These have always topped my list of favourites. I never used to share them with any of my siblings; such was my love for them! Well, now I prepare it for my kids at home and they too fancy them as I did. These flat and crispy cookies remind me of long train journeys when they were a staple snack, which my mother used to carry in her goody bag.

To me, Atta Biscuits are a simple snack, demanding only the basic pantry staples, all of which are stirred together for making ‘not too rich’ crumbly cookies. Even the sweetness is moderate which makes it perfect for daily consumption. It certainly does not have that extravagance of chocolate filled cookies but is still a favourite among all, as it has its own appeal. Both my children love its taste, lying somewhat between a scone and a wheat-based cereal.

Now coming to its preparation, it hardly takes 30 minutes to arrange and 20 minutes of cook time, with simple ingredients like wheat flour, butter, vanilla essence, icing sugar and milk, most of which are stored in your pantry and the rest available with your nearest grocery retailer. Moreover, you can bake it in a cooker itself, which is truly amazing.

This recipe promises 30-40 pieces if you zealously follow the steps, which means you are ready with an entire week’s stock. So you can easily replace the store bought ones with the homemade ones, as I do, or take it with you when you travel. When your mood demands something different, you can also enjoy them in another way. Cut them into nice shapes with the help of a cookie cutter and decorate them with sweet toppings like your favourite jam or jelly.

If you like this recipe, feel free to share it with your friends and relatives. Let them enjoy this very basic Indian cookie, which is nothing but optimal sidebars to pleasant teatimes.
