Atta Biscuits (Desi Ghee)
Atta biscuits baked crisp with whole wheat atta, pure desi ghee and desi khaand, and flavoured with cardamom. No maida, no refined sugar, no palm oil, no preservatives.
Atta biscuits were once the pride of home kitchens and the small neighbourhood bakery. Families waited for warm batches on Sunday evenings and filled tins that carried the aroma through the week. These were the biscuits maa served with evening tea, the ones that travelled in dabbas, the small comfort that made a quiet break feel special.
We bake ours the same way, in fresh batches every week, with nothing you wouldn't find in a home kitchen. Order atta biscuits online and we'll deliver them across India.

How is the taste of Atta Biscuits?
Atta Biscuits taste and texture
Crisp and crunchy. These biscuits snap rather than crumble, with the short, sandy bite that desi ghee gives. They are firmer than cream or milk biscuits, which is why they hold up so well when dipped in chai.
Mildly sweet, with cardamom. Sweetness comes from desi khaand.
For little ones. Because they are firm, very young children may find them hard to bite. Dip them in warm milk to soften.

The story of our Atta Biscuits
Atta biscuits baked the old bakery way
These are pure atta biscuits: whole wheat atta with no maida mixed in, baked in desi ghee the way neighbourhood bakeries made desi ghee atta biscuits for generations.
Whole wheat atta. We make our own. It gives the biscuit its nutty, wholesome taste and golden colour. There is no maida (refined flour) at all.
Pure desi ghee. It is the only fat in the recipe. It gives the rich aroma and the short, crisp bite. No palm oil, no vanaspati, no vegetable oil.
Desi khaand. A traditional, less-processed sugar that gives a gentle, rounded sweetness.
Cardamom. The flavour customers mention most in their reviews.
Milk and baking powder. For a light, even bake.

Atta Biscuits: Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to what customers ask us most about our Atta Biscuits.
Are The 1970 Shop atta biscuits made with pure desi ghee, or is palm oil used?
Pure desi ghee only. It is the only fat in the recipe. We don't use palm oil, vanaspati or any vegetable oil in our atta biscuits. The full ingredient list is on this page.
How sweet are The 1970 Shop atta biscuits?
Mildly sweet. They are sweetened with desi khaand and flavoured with cardamom. That is a gentle tea-time sweetness, not a dessert biscuit.
Are atta biscuits eggless and vegetarian?
Yes, they are eggless: the recipe has no eggs. They contain milk and desi ghee, so they are vegetarian but not vegan.
Can children eat atta biscuits?
They are made with simple ingredients: atta, desi ghee, desi khaand, milk and cardamom. They are crisp and firm, so very young children may find them hard to bite. Softening them in warm milk helps.
How are atta biscuits different from regular packaged biscuits?
Ours are made with whole wheat atta instead of maida, desi ghee instead of palm oil or vegetable fat, and desi khaand. They contain no preservatives and are baked in fresh batches every week. Compare the ingredient list on any biscuit pack with ours.
How many atta biscuits are in a pack, and which pack should I buy?
A 200 g tin has about 20–22 biscuits and a 400 g tin about 40–44. We pack by weight, so the count can vary a little. For everyday eating, the 400 g paper box gives the best value per 100 g. For gifting, or a tin to keep, choose a tin box. The 3-box packs are for stocking up.
How long do atta biscuits stay fresh, and how should I store them?
They are best before 5 months from manufacture, and we bake fresh batches every week. After opening, keep them in the closed tin or an airtight container, away from moisture.
Can I buy atta biscuits online with delivery across India?
Yes. Order online here and we deliver across India. Delivery usually takes 2 days in Delhi and Mumbai and 3–5 days elsewhere, depending on your pin code. Shipping is free on orders above ₹650, and cash on delivery is available for most pin codes.
