Khurmi is an authentic snack that is eaten in the Behari region. These Khurmi biscuits are full of crispy layers and are both sweet and salty. The addition of black sesame seeds adds a salty, nuttier flavor to the sweetened biscuit. Black seeds have a natural remedy and health benefits that effectively treat kidneys, hypertension, digestive health, pain-killers, and more. This bite-sized biscuit is the perfect snack to munch on with a hot cup of chai or coffee.
