Keto Khara Biscuit | Mangalorean Spicy Cookie

Keto Khara Biscuit | Mangalorean Spicy Cookie

The khara biscuit is a wonderful snack made with spices and is an amazing blend of sweet and spice. I had my recipe from my hometown of Mangalore, but unfortunately it consisted of all purpose flour which makes the traditional recipe carbohydrate heavy and not suitable for the keto diet. For this recipe, I swapped out the all purpose flour with almond and coconut flours and the outcome was delicious. Hope you enjoy these keto khara biscuits the next time you have your afternoon tea.

Keto Khara Biscuit - Spicy Mangalorean Cookie

Keto Khara Biscuit

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix 1 cup of almond flour, 6 tbsp coconut flour, 2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener, 3/4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp black pepper powder, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 1 tbsp crushed cashews, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp chopped ginger, 1 tbsp chopped green chilies, and 1/2 tbsp chopped curry leaves in a bowl. Then add 4 oz of butter and 2 tbsp of yogurt and mix well into the dough.

Roll a spoonful of dough into a 1 inch ball and place on the silpat or parchment paper on a baking tray and flatten. The keto khara biscuit size should be 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 an inch thick. Then repeat until all the dough is done and I ended up with 15 biscuits. Place the baking tray in the oven and cook at 350°F for 15 minutes.

Notes

Keep butter out of refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so that it reaches room temperature
