Instructions

To begin making the Nankhatai method, preheat the oven to 180 C.
2
And prepare a baking sheet greased with shortening or ghee.In a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, combine all the dehydrated components together.
3
mix in in the wet components and beat until all the components come together in the form of a flour base. Place the flour base in a cling wrap and store in the fridge for about 3 hours until ice.
4
This process is optional, but I like to do this as it makes the cookies more crisp.Divide and shape the flour base into lemon size balls, you can get about 25 to 30 balls of cookies.
5
Give a slight thumb impression in the center.
