    Nan Khatai is a popular sweet snack which is equally liked by kids as well as elders. I am a huge fan of these nan khatais.  It’s the NanKhatai recipe you would want when you suddenly crave for cookies. 

    Does this recipe rings a bell? Khasta nankhatais from your favorite bakery shop – so what does Khasta mean? Khasta means light and flaky and Nankhatai is referred to as a shortbread or biscuits. This is super easy fail proof recipe that has been tested and tried many times in my kitchen.

    nankhatai2

    Nan Khatai are simple to make if you ask me.Nothing complicated and no fancy ingredients. No baking soda and baking powder added in this recipe. Does this make you walk away from the recipe? Please wait and learn the secret to these khasta nankhatai recipe. Secret to these flaky nankhatai is the amount of ghee/butter that goes in them. No water or milk is added to this recipe.
