If ghee if not solidified, then refrigerate for some time.Take in a large deep plate,
run in circular direction with a flat palm.
Rub enough to make ghee white, fluffy and light.Sieve baking powder, cocoa
powder with flour. Add sugar to ghee and mix till light.
Fold in sieved flours, walnut powder till well mixed. Sprinkle some milk if dough
seems too dry to hold.
Mix with a light hand. Do not knead too much . Coarse
dough will make better and lighter cookies.
Shape in small rounds, arrange on baking sheet. Preheat oven to 200oC, before
putting in cookies.
Press on chocolate bit on each cookie in centre. Bake at 180oC for 7-8 minutes
