My version of nan khatai is quite simple and it’s the easiest
baking recipe ever if made with proper measurements and of course, little LOVE
is always necessary. People always have a pre conceived notion that bakery
recipes are difficult or process wise its tedious. If you are one of them, then
after reading this recipe and trying once I am sure you are going to change
your opinion.
Ingredients:
All purpose flour (maida) -- 1
bowl (Use same size bowl for further measurements)
Clarified butter (Ghee) -- ½
bowl melted and 2 tbsp extra if required
Sugar -- ½
bowl (Can be increased to ¾)
(Don’t use powdered one, instead powder it in a mixer grinder
along with Cardamom/elaichi pods)
Baking Soda -- 1
tsp
Cardamom/elaichi pods -- 2-3
peeled
Almond/Charoli/Chironji -- For
Garnishing
Chocolate chips/Tooti Footi -- Optional for additional flavour (2 Tbsp)
Procedure
- Pre heat oven to 180 degrees for 10 minutes. If using microwave oven, use convection mode and pre heat to 200 degrees for 10 minutes
- Take ghee in a bowl. Whip it for around 5-10 minutes. It will become little fluffy and whitish in colour.
- Add sugar and cardamom mix, and whip it again for 2-3 minutes.
- Now time to use your hands
- Sieve maida and soda 2-3 times. Now add maida and soda mixture slowly to the ghee and sugar mix. And mix it well using your hands as the heat of the hands will make the batter smooth and fluffy
- (Add chocolate chips or tooti footi at this stage if you are adding)
- Add some ghee if required, you might require 1 tbsp more to make the batter into a smooth one. Batter should be like paratha type, not very loose and not very tight.
- Make small balls of the dough and press it with your hands. Press an almond or Charoli nuts in between.
- Nan khatai is ready to be baked.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. Mostly it will get done, but some ovens require 17-18 minutes then bake for 1-2 minutes more.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Yummy nan khaatai is ready to serve
