Ingredients

  • 50 gm butter softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup grated coconut
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios

Instructions

  • Roast the pistachios for five minutes, crush them into smaller peices.
  • Roast the coconut till slightly dry.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Keep a cookie tray with parchment paper ready.
  • Beat butter and sugar till creamy. Add the yogurt and beat till combined.
  • Add in the dry ingredients and beat briefly.
  • Add the pistachios and coconut and bring the dough together. Do not knead, you just need the dough sticking to each other. I used my hands to do this.
  • After placing the dough on the prepared tray, shape the dough into a 10 inch long, 3 inch wide log.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Take out and allow to cool for 15 minutes. (I switched off my oven at this stage)
  • Carefully cut the log into 1/2-3/4 inch thick slices using a sharp knife and spread the slices out. I got around 10 slices. (I heated my oven at this stage)
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes till crunchy. Take out and cool on a wire rack.
  • Serve with a cup of warm milk or even better, a cup of black coffee!
