Karachi Biscuits | Tutti Frutti Cookies

Karachi Biscuits, a melt in your mouth cookie made with Tutti Frutti(candied raw papaya). It's one of the famous Indian tea time cookies and tastes absolutely great with a cup of hot chai.

Adding tutti frutti to the cookies enhances the taste and also the colorful tutti frutti makes the cookies more vibrant and appetizing.

Most recipes for these cookies call for custard powder. As i'm not the one who buys the custard powder regularly at home, i thought of working around and make these cookies.

So for the first trial, i tried the combination of all purpose flour and corn flour in these cookies and it turned out way more delicious than i had expected. Ever since i have been following the same recipe and it yields perfect cookies every time.

This recipe was in the drafts for a very long time and i thought of posting it around this New year. But with all the travelling and spending time with the family, the blogging took a back seat. Finally now that i'm able to edit the post and post it before the end of January :-)

Hope you all had a great New Year and wishing you all a wonderful year filled with all your dreams fulfilled.

Now let's check out the recipe for these delicious Tutti Frutti Cookies.
