Nankhatai is a cookie of Indian cuisine. The name Nankhataiis derived from the Persian word ‘Naan,’ which means bread in English, and khatai translates to light and flaky biscuit. Nankhatai is said to have originated in the 16th century in the city of Surat, Gujarat.

It is usually made from maida, gram flour and loads of ghee. Chef Tejasvi makes these cookies from her grandmother’s recipe.

The popular eggless cookie Nankhatai topped with cashews is salty, sweet, and crispy.
