Ingredients
cake flour
175 g

a pinch
garam masala
2 tsp
butter (diced)
75 g
fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 tsp

1

Instructions
1
Make the Dough
Preheat the oven to 200°C (th. 7). Add the cake flour, salt, and garam masala to a bowl. Add the butter and rub it in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the cilantro, then add the egg. Stir until a smooth dough forms.
2
Shape the Dough
Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and gently knead. Roll it out to approximately 3 mm thick. Use a fluted cutter or pizza wheel to cut the dough into rectangles roughly 7.5 x 2.5 cm. Brush with egg wash, then sprinkle a small amount of black onion seeds on the surface.
3
Bake
Arrange the rectangular crackers on a non-stick baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes, until they start to turn golden brown.
4
Decorate and Cool
Transfer the crackers to a cooling rack with a metal spatula as soon as they come out of the oven. Place a small amount of garam masala in a small dish, dip a dry pastry brush into it, and brush the surface of the crackers. Let cool completely before serving.
