Nankhatais, the crispy and tasty indian shortbreads, are very easy to make. And i was waiting for a recipe which made use of healthier ingredients. Finally i got it from rak's kitchen.
Ingredients: Makes 20 - 23
Preparation:
1.Grind the sugar and cardamom together into a fine powder.
2.Preheat oven to 180 degree C.
3.Sift together wheat flour, all purpose flour, sugar and baking powder, so that all the ingredients are mixed well. Add this to a bowl and mix well once more.
4.Add ghee little by little and rub into the flour mix. Continue this until you get a stiff dough. No Water.
5.Divide the dough into 20 equal parts.Roll each into a ball and flatten slightly. I used a cutter.
6.Line a cooking tray with cookie sheet / grease the tray with ghee and dust with flour. Place the nankhatais on the tray.
7.Bake for 10 -12 minutes at 180 degree C. Keep an eye on the nankhatais while baking, the colour must not change to dark brown. When you observe slight colour change take them out immediately ( don't follow the baking time strictly here, trust the appearence or you will be left with a handful of burnt nankhatais ) and cool on the wire rack. If you have a second batch, it will take even lesser time to bake.
Note:If you have pistachios, grind them coarsely. After rolling out and flattening the nankhatais, make a cross sign on each of them and top with the ground pistachios/ cashew nuts/ almonds and then bake.
Ingredients:
Whole wheat flour - 3/4 cup
All purpose flour -1/4 cup
Sugar - 1/2 cup (You can use lesser quantity, if you wish)
Ghee (melted) - 1/2 cup (you may not need all)
Cardamom -1
Baking Powder - 1 pinch
Pistachios - 10 (optional) it is for garnishing
