Hi
Cookies have been on my baking wishlist since a very long time. Today i decided to bake the traditional nankhatai. While i was searching for recipes on the web i came across many versions of nankhatai such as using ghee, dalda, butter. I will be trying out all the versions later but for today it is nankhatai with ghee.When i looked at Mullai' s recipe i felt it was very easy to follow but could not see the pics of the procedure. I guess we have to log in to see that. I wish Mullai had a blog so that i could see most of her recipes., anyway have left a comment on her space. Mullai if you are seeing this, thank you so much for the fool proof recipe.
The original recipe is here
