Nankhatai

Diwali fever is on.Wanted to try these yummy Nankhatais for sometime now.Got the perfect occasion and reason for it.Bake,Share with your friends & family and have a prosperous Diwali.


No baking powder/soda used.So way more healthier with the goodness of atta.

Ingredients
Maida 1 cup
Wholewheat 1 cup
Besan 1/2 cup
Sugar 1 2/3 cup powdered or even less of you prefer it less sweet.Do measure after powdering sugar.
Ghee 1 cup would suffice to make a good non sticky dough.Add more to roll balls.
Cardamon powder 1 tsp
Badam powdered as you prefer

Method
Mix the dry flours with sugar .Slowly add half of ghee and make bread crumb resembling textured dough. Now add more so that the dough comes together as a big ball.Make sure not to add too much ghee else the biscuits turn crumbly.

Now refrigerate the dough in a aluminium foil for 10 mins.

Now,take the dough .Make small balls and flatten to make Nankhatais.Now again refrigerate it for 10 mins.Meanwhile preheat oven at 190 degree Celsius.Place the biscuits in the baking tray greased with ghee.Make a cross cut on top and decorate as you wish.Bake for 18 to 20 mins or a little more till the base of the biscuits is slightly browned.For the last few mins reduce the temperature a little less to prevent cookies being burnt.

Take out the biscuits  and allow to cool.Once cooled it hardens and your soft melt in mouth Nankhatais are ready to go :)
