Pleasantly flavored with cardamom powder and pistachios or almonds, Nankhatai is a popular cookie from the Indian subcontinent. ‘Nan‘ comes from the word Naan (bread), and ‘khatai’ stands for a biscuit. This recipe is very easy to create at home. So easy that I would like to refer it as an amazing One Bowl Recipe.
