    Ingredients you'll need

    Here's a list of ingredients you'll need to make these brownie cookies.

    • Kashmiri chill powder - This gives a nice colour, you can also use regular red chilli powder
    • Ginger garlic paste - Used homemade paste
    • Tandoori masala powder - If you can't find this powder,you can skip it
