Coffee’s MBP ~ Shammi’s Baked Methi Biscuits

March 20, 2007 at 10:24 pm · Filed under Cooking

Yum, yum! That’s the refrain on my tongue every time I head over to
Food, In The Main…, one of the first blogs I discovered, and one I always enjoy!

Every time I read Shammi’s recipes, I get the feeling I could run into the kitchen and “whip that dish right up”. She leaves nothing to chance: easy-to-follow directions and great step-by-step photos are always there to pave the way, along with a healthy dose of dry humor.

When I needed a recipe for Coffee’s March MPB, complete with rolling pin,
I remembered Shammi’s healthy, yummy-looking methi biscuits. I’ve been meaning to try them, yet never seemed to have the time… you know how that goes. Well, the joke was on me, because these crunchy treats really do whip up in a flash, and they taste like you slaved all day over a hot stove. I followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of using ajwain seeds because I had no sesame. Kind of ironic since Shammi used sesame instead of ajwain! Next time I’ll try the sesame.

Thanks Coffee, for the great theme, and thanks,Shammi, for the great biscuits — they were delicious! :)

    Thanks Nupur — they were some easier to roll than rotis — no round requirement ;)

    Oooh… I was doing my usual blog rounds and then I saw THIS post - with my name all over :) I’m feeling fuzzily warm after all those compliments, Linda! You’re too kind. AND you take fantastic photos too.

    Aw, thanks Shammi, you’re nice to say! After a year of drooling over your recipes, I figured time for a little “thanks” from me! :)

    Hi Linda,
    Nice entry for MBP..And it was damn smart of you to use that cookie cutter. Tell me, do you have a roti-cutter of some sorts? :)
    Swaps

    Hi Swaps, and thanks! I should really find a roti-cutter too, hmm? ;)

    I am trying to get the recipe to make the methi biscuits, have tried Shammi’s site link and email link but no luck. Can you help me out with acquiring this recipe? Thank you.

    Hi Pat, looks like I made a mistake — I have fixed the link to Shammi’s recipe. Here it is for you:

    Thank you for pointing that out!
