History
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. Variations of Osmania Biscuits exist in other states too; in Chennai, a biscuit that is known as 'Butter Biscuit' is similar.
It is one of the cultural identities in Hyderabad and is especially sold in places like Charminar and Old Hyderabad . It was sold at the cafes like New Grand Hotel in the vicinity of the Osmania Hospital, demanding the bakers in the city to add the item in the menu along with the Irani chai.[2][3]
