Pistachio Cardamom Nankhatai
AuthorMeg's KitchenNankhatai has a very special place in our hearts because of the childhood memories we all have attached to these melt-in-the mouth cookies. Nankhatai undoubtedly is as basic and traditional of a recipe as it can get. It contains no leavening agents, just simple and pure ingredients. It uses the good ness of ghee and regular sugar that we can powder at home and use!! This leaves you with no excuse to get into your kitchens and start creating deliciousness!!

¼ cup Gram Flour (Besan)
¾ cup Clarified Butter (Desi Ghee) (1-2 tbsp more if needed)
