Nankhatai is a popular shortbread cookie made using gram flour, yogurt, clarified butter. I remember how my grandma used to prepare the cookie dough and take it to the bakery store for baking as an oven used to be a luxury item in those days. Now you can find ovens in every household and baking your own cookies has become easier.
I can never resist a nankhatai and very fond of them. They are rich, buttery, crumbly and the cardamom taste is totally irresistible. So, sharing the recipe with you all and hope you try it out and share the feedback with me.
