🎇🪔Deepawali celebration is incomplete without Nankhatai 🪔🎇 Followed my most favourite chef's recipe that is from Your food lab. It's @sanjyotkeer recipe, super loved it and it's extremely easy to make as well. Thanks @sanjyotkeer for this amazing recipe.💗💕💝
Ingredients:
· Sugar – ½ cup
· Ghee – ½ cup
· Cardamom powder – ½ tsp
· Baking soda – ¼ tsp
· Curd – 1 tsp
· Refined flour / Maida - 1 cup
· Almond/ Pistachios – slivered as required
Method:
· Add the sugar into a mixer grinder jar & grind it into a fine powder to make powdered sugar.
· Further sieve in the powdered sugar into a large bowl & add ghee along with cardamom powder, baking soda & curd, mix well using a whisk. Once all the ingredients come together sieve in the refined flour & mix it well using a whisk or a spatula, use your hands for form the mixture into a dough but make sure you don’t have knead it.
· Once the dough is formed take a small portion of it & form it into a roundel using your palms then gently press it, shape all the nankhatais similarly & place on a butter paper line baking tray with 2-3 inches of gap between each piece.
· Add the slivered almonds & pisctachios from the top & bake in a 170 degree C preheated oven for 12-13 minutes.
· Once baked remove them out of the oven & let them cool down completely before serving.
· If you don’t have an oven, you can use a kadhaai to bake these, add plenty of salt in the kadhaai, cover & let it preheat over high flame for 20 minutes.
· Further take a plate & line it with butter paper & place the shaped nankhatais on the plate. Once the kadhaai is preheated, place a steamer stand or a cookie cutter to give the plate some height & then place the plate on the stand.
· Cover the kadhaai with a lid & bake the nankhatais over low flame for 20-25 minutes.
· Once baked remove them from the kadhai & cool them down completely. Your no oven perfectly baked nankhatais are ready, serve them with some kadak chai.
