Osmania Biscuit

Osmania Biscuit from Hyderabad, Telangana cuisine.
Delicious buttery Biscuit flavoured with cardamom and saffron. Not only tasty and flavorful but colour of saffron made these biscuits attractive.

Osmania Biscuit is a popular tea biscuit in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.It is named after the last Asaf Jahi ruler of Hyderabad State, Mir Osman Ali Khan.
The biscuits were first baked on the demand of the last Nizam of Hyderabad, Mir Osman Ali Khan, who wanted a snack that was a little sweet and a little salty. Today, the evning chai is incomplete without these biscuits anywhere in the city. With the growth of Hyderabad as an IT hub, people from all over India were exposed to this unique biscuit and as a result of this, Osmania Biscuits are now on the list of anyone who comes to Hyderabad or goes back to his hometown. Variations of Osmania Biscuits exist in other states too; in Chennai, a biscuit that is known as ‘Butter Biscuit’ is almost similar.
It is one of the cultural identities in Hyderabad.

    Wow Sujata, the first time I saw the click of these biscuits I couldn’t stop starring at them. They look so pretty with the saffron strands and a bit of yellow on top. I must admit I haven’t tried them as yet. I will now need to hunt of them in Bangalore or perhaps bake them myself.

    The husband is a big fan of Osmania biscuits from Hyderabad’s famed Karachi Bakery. I always buy them, though, and have never tried making them at home. Yours have turned out so perfect – crisp and yet buttery soft. Lovely! 🙂
