Wheat Biscuits Without an Oven

We all are fond of cookies as we need somthing or the other thing to munch while watching tv or doing any leisure activity, especially kids are so much fond of it that they take no time to finish the cookies!
But do you know you can make the same cookies at home, even if you don't have an oven! Yes, you can! Making biscuits or cookies at home is so easy and simple that you will love to make it again and again, moreover you know what goes into the cookies you consuming!
Wheat flour biscuits are healthier version of maida or refined flour biscuits as maida biscuits are not considered healthy and wheat is high in fiber and other essential proteins which makes it tasty and healthy alternative to refined flour biscuits.
And I knew it came out good when my brother tasted one with doubt on his face and then filled his pockets with these biscuits and went! 😄

So let's begin with the recipe!

• Keep it in the refrigerator for 30 mins covering it.
• Now take a wide vessel, in which a tray on which you'll be laying your biscuits should fit in leaving an inch gap.
• Add about 1 cup of salt and spread it evenly and keep it on low flame.

• If you have an oven, bake the biscuits following the same recipe on 160° for 15-25 mins.
• Add chilled milk while kneading the dough and knead it well.
• Cook them over medium flame and don't overcook.
• Time varies for each of us, depending which utensil you use, amount you making, etc.
• You may see its little soft when you touch it while flipping but don't worry, once it comes to room temperature it firms up.
