I have been super excited about baking new recipes in my tiny new OTG! I baked a semolina cake last week and this week i baked some Indian Biscuits called ‘Naankatais’, a favorite tea time snack of my family. We had never made naankhatais at home, just always bought from the store because they are so easily available. But I wanted to make them at home, just for fun, and they turned out (almost) better than the store bought biscuits! I received tons of compliments on my biscuits! And so, obviously, I had to put them on the blog!
Use What?
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour, sifted
3/4th cup caster sugar, sifted
1/2 cup melted Ghee (Indian butter)
1/4th teaspoon cardamom powder
1/4th teaspoon nutmeg powder
1-2 pinches of salt
1 teaspoon pistachio flakes
1 teaspoon pistachio flakes (optional)
Do what?
Preheat oven to 170 degree C.
Mix all the ingredients (except for the optional pistachios) to form a soft dough.
Roll the dough into soft balls of 1-1.5 inch diameter, and place them on a baking sheet.
Press the optional pistachio flakes on the top of the dough balls and bake for 30 minutes
Tip: We (Me, my family and a lot of other Indians) love having these biscuits by dipping them in sweet chai!!
