Ingredients

Instructions

  • Powder sugar with cardamom to a fine powder.
  • In a mixing bowl take maida, wheat flour, besan flour. Whisk it well, Set aside.
  • Chop pista and set aside.
  • Take melted ghee in a wide mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar. Whisk it well.
  • Then add the flour mixture. Mix it well with our hands, it may resemble breadcrumbs.
  • Now add milk and bring together to form a soft dough. I used my measuring spoon to scoop out even sized cookies.
  • Roll them into a ball and flatten it slightly.
  • Lay silver foil in a baking tray and arrange the cookies.
  • Sprinkle chopped pistachios and slightly press it.
  • Preheat oven at 180 deg C fo 10mins.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C fo 15-20mins or until the edges turn golden.
  • Nankhatai keeps well for 3 days in room temperature itself!

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.
