Notes
Store it in Air tight container and use it for longer shelf life
Instead of adding sugar directly in the dough, you can cook the biscuits first and later you can soak it in sugar syrup
Cut the diamond based on the size that you prefer.
Instead of Maida, you can replace it with Wheat flour too.

Thanks for this awesome recipe. This is one of my favorite snacks 🙂
For the sweet thuja can we use wheat flour and maida in the proportion 1:1.
Yes Vijaya, we can very well use. Also we can use only wheat flour and skip maida also but the taste would be little less than maida one.
Thank you! That’s exactly what I wanted to know.
Thank you for the recipe, I was in a rush to make something for our unexpected guests. Your instructions are clear and simple. Thank you.
When i tried frying them , the dough got melted in the oil. The resudue was floating in the oil. What could the possible error ? Any suggestions?
sometimes if there is moisture in the cut diamonds then the dough will melt. Thats the reason we are drying it out in a paper towel before frying
I tried the exact measurements of the recipe and it turned awesome. My first try itself was so successful. Thank you.
So glad to know thank you so much for sharing the feedback
