Naan Khatai (Biscuits)

Naan Khatai (Biscuits)

These are one of the most awesome cookies I bake. They taste out of this world, specially when I eat each biscuit after dipping it in the tea. Lol! (that's how I eat biscuits)

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1- All purpose flour - 2 cups

2- Ghee - 1 cup

3 - Castor sugar - 1 cup

4 - Baking powder - 1.5 tsp full

5 - Cardamoms - few (crushed seeds)

6 - Pistachios - quantity according to your liking.

Directions: (Pre-heat the oven at 180 'C)

1 - Put the cup containing ghee in the freezer till its hard.

2 - Sieve flour with baking powder.

3 - If you don't have castor sugar, its alright. Just grind regular sugar till its fine.

4 - Take out ghee and scoop it out from the cup in a large bowl. Crush the frozen ghee.

5 - Add sugar in ghee and mix well till its creamy in consistency.

6 - Add crushed cardamom seeds in this mixture.

7 - Gradually add flour in this mixture and knead the dough.

8 - Grease baking trays.

9 - When dough is properly kneaded, make small balls and flatten each between your palms.

10 - Place these biscuits on the baking tray, each biscuit apart as their size will increase while baking.

11 - Make small depression on each biscuit with your finger and sprinkle crushed pistachios in this depression.

12 - Bake these cookies for 20 - 25 minutes.

13 - You can verify that the cookies are baked after 20 - 25 minutes by lifting one cookies with a fork. If it lifts properly, without sticking to the pan / fork and the underside is slightly browned, your cookies are ready!

14 - Serve your Naan Khatai with Tea! :)

~ Happy Baking!
