Shop Deer Atta Cookies 1kg Online

Texture, mostly. These are short and crumbly rather than chewy -- they break apart rather than bending. That comes from the proportion of fat in the dough and puts them closer to a shortbread or a nankhatai than to a chocolate-chip cookie.

They are separate recipes. The ajwain version carries carom seed and leans savoury, sharp and slightly bitter. The kaju pista version is sweet with cashew and pistachio through it. The atta version is made with atta, the wheat flour used for roti, which gives a coarser and nuttier crumb. Picking between them is a choice of three different biscuits.

Carom seed. It looks like a small caraway seed and tastes sharp and slightly bitter, with something of thyme about it. In a cookie it pulls the whole thing towards savoury, which surprises people expecting a sweet biscuit.

The kaju pista version contains cashew and pistachio by definition, and cookies of this kind commonly contain milk solids and may contain egg. The ingredient and allergen statement on the pack is the manufacturer's and is the only reliable answer, which matters if you are buying for someone with a nut allergy.

Atta is the wheat flour used for roti and chapati, milled differently from the refined white flour used in most biscuits. In a cookie it gives a coarser crumb and a nuttier flavour. The pack's ingredient list states what flour has actually been used.

To a degree, yes. These are thin and brittle by nature and they travel a long way by sea and then by courier, so a proportion of breakage in the bottom of the pack is usual rather than a fault. A pack that is largely crumbs, crushed flat, or has a split seal is a different matter and the store will sort it out.

Sealed and dry. These are dry biscuits with a lot of fat in them, so they soften with humidity and pick up strong smells from whatever is next to them. An airtight container in a cool cupboard is better than a folded-over bag, and the fridge is the wrong place for them.

No. This page describes what the product is, what it is made from in general terms, and how it is packed and kept. It carries no statement about what the product does for you, and nothing on it should be read as dietary or nutritional advice. The ingredient statement and any nutrition information panel printed on the pack are the only descriptions of what is in it, and the manufacturer is the source for both.

Yes. Ingredients, allergen declarations, any nutrition information panel, the manufacturer's own storage instruction and the best-before date are all printed on the pack by the maker. Where this page and a pack differ, the pack is right.

Yes. Products in this range are imported, so pack design, size and label wording can change between shipments. What arrives is what the current pack says, which is another reason to read the label rather than rely on a description.
