I am a die hard fan of nan-khatai. Either with cup of tea or on it's own, they make me happy. Most of the time I like to stick to the original recipe and I don't like to deviate much from it, but I couldn't resist tweaking the original nan-khatai recipe. I decided to add white chocolate and cinnamon. By adding white chocolate I brought a western spark to this eastern delicacy. They were simply divine, irresistible and scrumptious. you can see my traditional nan khatai recipe here.

ReplyDeleteHi jagruti first of all I love your blog and have tried some recipes plus have unread out excellent except for white chic and cinnamon nankhtai they were just too soft and crumble as you pick them up and break up so I don't know what went wrong followed your recipe thoroughly. If you could please let me know where I went wrong. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHello Anonymous
DeleteThank you for liking our blog and the recipes. Please may I know in which country do you live ? many times warm weather plays a big roll in ..or maybe wait for few hours before you lift the khatai...
Hope this helps..
