Nankhatai Without Oven

Ingredients
1 cup (128g) refined flour/ maida
½ cup (60g) gram flour/ besan
2 tbsp semolina/suji
1 cup (125g) powdered sugar
½ cup (120ml) clarified butter/ghee
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp cardamom powder
¼ tsp salt

Preparations

 In a large bowl sieve refined flour, gram flour, semolina, baking powder and powdered sugar. Add salt and mix well.

Add ghee in the above dry ingredients and knead for 3-4 minutes or till it forms a soft dough.

Now add some cardamom powder and mix well.

Take small portion of the dough in between your palms and form small balls.

With a finger form a small impression in the centre of the nankhatai and garnish with chopped pistachios. Similarly make all the nankhatais.
 

To bake them in the oven, preheat the oven to 170C for 10 Minutes. Place nankhatai on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 18-20 minutes or until light golden brown from the bottom.

To bake them in a pan, preheat the kadai/pan for 10 minutes and cover it with a lid.  Then place a stand in the pan. Take a plate and grease it with ghee, place the nankhatais in the plate and carefully put it inside the pan and cover it with a lid.

On medium flame bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown from the bottom.

Let them cool completely before storing.
