A traditional, shortbread biscuit with both Persian and Indian variations. Ours is a Parsi tea-time favourite, which combines the sweetness of sugar with the flavours of cardamom and nutmeg. Traditionally we mark our biscuits with an X before baking and press almond, or pistachio slithers into the top of the biscuit.
