Nan Khatai

Nan Khatai is our very own Indian biscuit. Its most commonly available and is found at almost all the tea shops. The basic ingredients, maida, besan and sooji are readily found in every Indian kitchen. I find these really quick and easy to make. This recipe will make around 20 biscuits.

Ingredients:

Maida - 1.5 cups

Besan - 1/2 cup

Sooji - 1/2 cup

Powdered Sugar - 1 cup

Cardamom powder - 1 tsp

Ghee - 1 cup

Baking powder - 1 tsp

Cardamom seeds for garnish
