    Brilliant, love these Sanjeeta. I’m with you – whereas I adore & love cooking with rich creams & butters, I don’t actually love indulging in such rich tastes (probably why I’m only now dabbling in the great big world of baking & dessert making, as I’ve spent all my cooking career in Entree’s & Mains I think). But, this recipe is wonderful & just sinful enough to really enjoy. Love them, thanks for sharing Lovely :)

    Hi Sanjeeta,

    Just gave your site a shoutout on my facebook page. You have such a wonderful collection of recipes!

    I was wondering, what is a digestive biscuit? I’ve never heard of them here in the states.

    Thanks!

    @Tiffany, I thought Digestive biscuits are very popular everywhere..these are very common in India. Made with high fiber food ingredients such as rice bran, barley etc these are better option than the refined flour biscuits.
