Ragi Cocoa Biscuits

Dusshera break was extended due to the transport strike. A was home and wanted me to bake some chocolate biscuits for her. Ragi flour is an absolute favourite when it comes to biscuits and it goes well with cocoa powder.

I haven’t added wheat flour so these biscuits are good if someone wants a gluten-free recipe. I have used ghee or clarified butter as I do in most of my recipes. It can be replaced by an equal quantity of butter.

Notes

Ragi flour is gluten-free so if it's not coming together you can add a tsp of milk.

These biscuits burn fast so keep an eye after 10 minutes.

You can add nuts or chocolate chips to the biscuits dough.
