Nankhatai Cookies without Oven

Traditional Indian shortbread cookies made with all-purpose flour, semolina, sugar and ghee, Nankhatai are the perfect accompaniment to a cup of hot chai, thanks to the mellow undertone of cardamom and/or nutmeg, that adds a beautiful dimension to the cookies.

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 servings

Cooking time :

40 mins

1 cup

all purpose flour

1/4 cup

gram flour (besan)

1 teaspoon

baking powder

2 tablespoon

sooji

1/2 teaspoon

cardamom powder

1/2 cup

ghee

1/2 cup

powdered sugar (just blend regular sugar granules)

1-2 tablespoon

milk

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a bowl, add ghee and powdered sugar and start whisking together till it becomes light and creamy.

* Step 2

In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, besan (gram flour), baking powder, cardamom powder and sooji.

* Step 3

Add the dry ingredients in the creamed ghee and sugar and mix. The mixture at this stage should be dry. Add milk to form a dough. If the dough feels too stiff, add some more milk and adjust. Form the dough and then make your cookies. Place almonds/pistachios on top and keep aside.

* Step 4

To set your stove top oven, add in 1 cup salt in the cooker and place a rack/cookie cutter and then place a plate above it. This is because we do not want the plate to be in direct contact of the salt. Close the lid and let the cooker sit on medium heat for 5 mins, to pre-heat.
