Saamai Biscuits / Little Millet Biscuit (without egg)

I wanted to try biscuits for long time with the millets...I have prepared biscuits with wheat flour and ragi flour...but didn't took photos of them...All of them are the same recipe as here....I follow show me the curry's recipe and every time it turns out nice...Here I tried with saamai/little millet,
and according to our family this tastes best...even better than the original all purpose flour one...This has a little course texture (actually i didn't ground it very fine) , so it got little interesting texture too...Do try and enjoy this yummy and healthy snack....
