Gluten-Free Amaranth Cookies Recipe | Rajgira Cookies Recipe with step wise pictorial and video method

Amaranth Cookies is a tasty & unique snack which is made with amaranth seeds, which are called Rajgira and Ramdana in Hindi. And when grounded, called by the name Amaranth flour.

These seeds are considered to be rich in nutrients & have great health benefits. This is a unique cookie & is non deniably yummy.

Amaranth is not a very known ingredient. It is a non-popular ingredient but comes into limelight during the beautiful festival of Navratri. Amaranth Cookies have a somewhat nutty flavour in every bite but it glows up & comes hand-to-hand in almond used recipes.

The use of almond somewhat increases its taste & texture, thus enhancing flavour in every bite. These biscuits are also suitable for gluten-sensitive diets.

In this recipe, we have used coconut oil instead of butter. An individual can use any of the ingredient according to their personal preference. But, coconut oil was exerting a different flavour of its own which dominated the entire snack & made it more texture full & awesome.

Individuals must keep in mind to refrigerate the cookie dough for atleast 30 minutes before baking. This step is a crucial step of this recipe. The reason of this step is to increase the holding tendency of the biscuit, resulting in thick shape.

This recipe required the use of Amaranth Seeds which are very healthy & are a part of a good diet. These seeds are very Rich in Fibres & protein. These seeds are naturally gluten free and are delightful.

These rajgiri cookies are not only a tasty snack but is also a healthy choice. These cookies can be stored upto a week in an air tight container. You can have a good tea-time with these biscuits as snacks & have a memorable evening with your family.

GLUTEN-FREE AMARANTH COOKIES RECIPE – STEP-WISE AND PICTORIAL RECIPE :

Firstly add amaranth seeds add in the grinder jar. These are pre roasted seeds at the time they were purchased. If you get raw one, you can roast them.

Grind them to a fine powder. Still some seeds will not get powdered but that much is ok.

Bring them out in a bowl. Now add almonds and cardamoms in a grinder jar.

Grind to a powder but grind on pulse mode otherwise almonds will turn into almond butter. Take this too out in the same bowl having amaranth flour.

Add baking powder, baking soda and salt in it. Mix well.

In another bowl add coconut oil. Oil should be on room temperature. Instead you can also use Butter or desi ghee. Add powdered sugar.

Whisk them well so that oil and sugar turn into a creamy mixture.

Add the flour (amaranth+almonds).

Now mix them, preferably with hand.

Bring it together and if needed, add milk but little by little.

A dough is ready.

Now take a lemon sized dough and roll it into a ball. Slightly flatten it but don’t flatten too much because these are gluten-free cookies, hence will fall flattened completely on baking. Arrange them on a baking tray lined with greased butter paper or parchment paper. We have silicon mats which require no greasing.

Place the tray in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Bake in preheated oven @180°C for 18-20 minutes or until edges of biscuits turn brown.

Take them out and let cool completely on a cooling rack.

Enjoy.
