Naan Khatai
Naan Khatai (Naan Khat-aa-ee) is a traditional Indian shortbread cookie which originated in the port city of Surat in India and can be traced back to the 17th century. It is a light, yet sweet biscuit that is traditionally made with clarified butter or “ghee”, semolina, eggs, flour, sugar and baking powder. The individual ingredients may be simple enough but combining them creates a delicious biscuit.
Semolina is very finely ground wheat that is rich in iron and folic acid; nutrients extremely important for good health. Semolina contains no fat or cholesterol and is very low in sodium.
“Since my childhood I have been smitten by these little spice scented cookies. The aroma wafting through the house turns me into a kid every time. An extremely light and crispy biscuit that is perfect for serving with tea or coffee. The taste is indescribable and these biscuits are definitely worth giving a try!"
