Cover back the utensil properly.

Bake nankhatai for 15 minutes on low flame. Check after 15 minutes, if it has got puffy and brown from surface that means it’s baked appropriately. If it still uncooked then bake it for 3-4 more minutes on low flame. Check again, nankhatai is now ready. it takes 15-20 minutes for baking nankhatai.

When nankhatai gets cool, separate it from the tray and place in some other bowl or plate. Mouth drooling and delectable nankhatai is ready. When it gets cool completely, store it in an airtight container and enjoy eating for upto 2 months. 

Suggestion:

  • Nankhatai can also be prepared with gram flour, gram flour-maida, gram flour-semolina, gram flour-maida-semolina or only maida-semolina as per your preference.
  • If there is excess ghee in the dough then nankhatai will not puff up and will remain flat like a biscuit. In this case add some more maida in the flour and mix nicely.
  • If the quantity of ghee is less in the dough can nankhatai will break or get cracks while baking. In this case add some more ghee in the dough and mix well.
