Baking Indian Biscuits With My Grandma / Nishi V

I had SO much fun filming with my Grandma! Anyone who has tried these biscuits, loves them so I thought I'd get her to share her secret recipe with you all. Find the full recipe here: www.nishiv.com...

These biscuits are eggless, and can be made vegan, by substituting the milk and butter with dairy-free alternatives. The flour can also be substituted for a gluten-free flour, suitable for coeliacs. This recipe uses a minimal amount of sugar, however you can add more sugar if you have a sweet tooth!
This video wasn't meant to turn into a vlog, but that's the way the 'cookie' crumbled! See what I did there!?
I've been eating these biscuits forever, and have never made them, up until now. My Grandad, having heard the commotion in the kitchen, came to investigate and we may or may not have roped him into having a go. Jass was playing the role of ‘camera man’ and of course, it was only fair that he gets involved too - it was hilarious watching their first ever attempt at baking!

I was born in Kenya and have had lots of these when young but never got to make it. Miss them and will certainly give it a go. My kids have had it and always ask for more. Thank you for sharing! Ps. For those who remember, in Kenya, there were no ovens and these were made in a charcoal chula made from a metal drum

[@NishiV1]

Ahh that's sweet, I hope your kids like them!

[@rakeshnandha7547]

I don't usually comment but my mum used to make these when we were little and we lost her recipe, so thank you for sharing your Baa's recipe, I've made them and they bring memories of my childhood!

[@NishiV1]

That's so lovely to hear, thanks so much for commenting! I'm really pleased you made them and that they bring back fond memories!

[@yoya4766]

Thank you!!!! I've been looking for the recipe for these forever. God bless you all. Your grandad has great dexterity with his hands.

[@NishiV1]

Thank you!

[@janakrana889]

Hi Nishi, thank you so much for the lovely recipe! Mine turned out pretty rustic but so tasty! It was a joy seeing a joint effort!

[@NishiV1]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. Nothing wrong with rustic as long as they tasted good 😊

I can smell those biscuits being cooked ❤ I am from Nairobi too. I remember everyone had the same recipe. Yummy 🌹

Thank you very much to both you and your Nani for this recipe! Been looking for one since ages! We are from Uganda, my mum used to make these but don’t know what happened to her recipes. I used to remember she used to add vanilla custard powder to the mix, please ask your Nani if she has a recipe for it or we minus some flour to add custard powder! Thank you very much, Nishi🙏👍

[@NishiV1]

Thanks! She’s never used vanilla custard powder, sorry. Enjoy! 😊

Hi Nishi I just happened to come across your site as I was looking for a receipe that my mum used to use in Nairobi, I am so grateful to have found your site as I live in Australia and really forgot how to make some stuff and of course the people here cook differently from the Kenyan Indians lol. Anyway just wanted to say THANK YOU. AND LOVE YOUR GRANDMA, I MISS MY BAA DEARLY

[@jaygohil6927]

I ALSO LIVED IN LONDON BEFORE I MOVED HERE

[@NishiV1]

[@NishiV1]

[@chandrikasheth7432]

I did these cookies but while baking they turn out flat what is the reason behind it

[@NishiV1]

They’re biscuits, not cookies. So they’ll only turn out as thick as you roll the dough

[@bhavnamistry1389]

Ahhh, so cute your gran is nishi biscuits look absolutely lush , I feel like making some now god bless you and your family xx

[@taravarsani1791]

I was in Kenya as well my mum used to make biscuits which we used to enjoy. My mum also used to make homemade different chocolate similar to Cadbury In 80,s does your granny knows how to make them or have the recipe to share

[@NishiV1]

I haven't heard of those! Are they also biscuits with chocolate in them? I can ask her to see if she knows x

[@taravarsani1791]

No they are chocolate like dairy milk with fruit and nuts/ plain chocolate which used to make in most household in the 8o's which use to be made with cocoa powder milk powder and ghee milk into the powder like giving dhabbo and sieve it and mixed into sugar syrup that's all I can remeber

Hey Nishi, Iv made these now several times. And realised I don't have much time. Can I pat little biscuits out instead of rolling?? Thanks leena

[@NishiV1]

Ooh I'm not sure to be honest. I'm sure you can give it a go and see how they turn out? They may just need a bit longer in the oven if they're thicker. Thanks
