Ingredients
1
cup
besan | gram flour
1/2
cup
powdered sugar
1/2
cup
melted ghee
1/4
tsp
baking powder
1
tsp
cardamom powder | Milk masala
Nuts for garnishing
optional
Instructions
Sieve 1 cup of besan and add it to a wide bowl.
Powder ½ cup of sugar and add it to the bowl.
Add ¼ tsp of baking powder and 1 tsp cardamom powder.
I added milk masala.
Mix well nicely.
Now add the melted ghee. No need to add hot ghee. Just measure ½ cup of melted ghee and add to the flour.
Knead it to a soft dough.
If you feel it is hard, just sprinkle few drops of milk and knead well.
Take a small lemon sized portion of the dough.
Make it into round balls.
Do not flatten it. Just gently press.
You can keep a slice of pista or almond on the top.
I added milk masala on the top.
Preheat an oven for 5 minutes at 160 degrees Celcius.
Bake the nankhatais for 10-12 minutes at 160 degrees Celcius.
The nankhatais will be a bit soft once you take out.
Cool completely and store this in an airtight container.
Melt in mouth besan nankhatais are ready.
