Method
Sieve the flour, baking powder and powdered sugar together. Add salt to the mixture, and mix to combine. Add ghee and gently combine with your fingers, to form a crumbly texture
Once the ghee is evenly distributed and the texture resembles breadcrumbs, add 2 tbsp of milk and knead gently. The dough should look smooth on the exterior, but be crumbly
Place on a butter paper laid on a work surface. Roll out the dough into a 1-cm thick sheet. Cut out cookies using a cookie-cutter.Garnish each cookie with an almond on top.Place the cookies on a greased Idli utensil or a tray
To preheat the baking utensil, fill enough salt in a heavy-bottomed utensil to cover the bottom. Place a small bowl or metal ring to elevate from the surface of the salt. Heat on a medium flame for 10 minutes
Place the cookies in the preheated utensil and cook for 20 minutes on medium-low heat, or until the edges start to become a dark brown
Remove from the tray and allow to cool
