This weeks' post is one of a kind of traditional Indian biscuits called Naan Khatai.This is a very old hands down recipe.It consists of only three main ingredients - Ghee, flour and sugar. It is flavored with freshly grounded cardamom. The cookies are sprinkled with pistachios or Almond. The typical texture of these cookies should be powder like on the cracked tops. You can find them in almost all bakeries and they are true all time favorites. Nan khatai is an egg-less light and crispy biscuit that’s perfect to serve with tea or coffee.
