Naan Khatai Recipe

Naan Khatai is an indian biscuit made of semolina, all purpose flour, ghee, sugar and chickpea flour. It has alot of different recipes and versions, but this naan khatai recipe is the best one you will find!. Some add only semolina and all purpose flour while some make these by adding chickpea flour also.

Method

Step 1: Combine sugar and Ghee.

Firstly you need to combine 3/4 sugar with 3/4 cup Oil or Ghee. I recommend using ghee but if you don’t have ghee you can replace it with oil.

Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients

Add Semolina 1/3 cup or 5 tbsp, Chickpea flour 1/2 cup and All purpose flour 2 cups. The most important step is to sift it first to remove or avoid any lumps. Add all the ingredients one by one and mix them together.

I used a beater to save time but you can also use hand mixer if you want. This naan khatai recipe is very quick and easy to make.

Step 3: Mix it with hands and Refrigerate.

To combine all the ingredients together give a good mix with your hands at the end. Then keep it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes so that the dough comes to its shape.

Step 4: Add almonds and Shape

Add almonds cut or crushed. Do not make it powder, chop it with knife and add it in the mixture.

Now shape them into cookies. You can make them round or oval as you like.

Step 5: Coat the biscuits and Bake

Coat the biscuits with egg yolk or whole egg. You can skip this part but by coating will give it a golden brown colour on top. You can now add almond cut in half on each biscuit to decorate it. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Bake these non khatai biscuits at 180*C for 15- 20 minutes. Mine were done in 15 minutes. As soon as the bottom of the biscuits get light brown you can take them out of the oven and let them cool.

Once they are cool you can store them in the cookie jar and use them up to a month. They will be super crispy and delicious in taste.
