Nankhatai Recipe / Nan Khatai Cookies Recipe

Nankhatai Recipe

Nankhatai Recipe,There are lot of variations for Nankhatai cookies.You can make this Nankhatai for Diwali, am sure this will be a super hit.I googled and found many variations for nankatai recipe but finally settled with SaffronKitchen’s recipe but since the website is inaccesible now, I could not link it.I replaced maida with half of wheat flour and thats the only change I made to the orginal recipe.I want to try nankhatai without besan flour too, so will post another version soon.

This is the first time I am tasting Nankahatai, the taste was quite different from the usual cookies with a nutty flavour from besan flour.Do try it and pack for your relatives and friends for this Diwali 2015!

Nankhatai Recipe

My Notes:

  • The cookies spread out so while baking so leave enough space between each cookie.
  • You can even replace ghee with butter.
  • Don’t knead the dough too much just bring it together with the tip of your fingers.
  • Instead of adding 1/2 cup of wheat flour you can even use maida fully
  • It yielded me 15 cookies.

    A question about point 6. You have said wrap in butter paper and the log with poppyseeds. Is there some step in between?
