Naan Khatai Recipe

Nan Khatai is Pakistan’s traditional cookies and I am a big fan of naan khatai since I was a small kid. Its very easy to make and when you eat them it just melts in your mouth. I cant describe the taste but you all must give it a try.

  1. Hello Neel. so far i know, Nankhatai is an eggless cookie. i never saw it’s recipe with egg. it is the main difference of nankhatai that it is made w/o egg. Anyways,i’ll try your one…don’t know if it will taste will nankhatai or not.

    1. You dont need to add egg in naan khatai……………you just have to apply it on the top when its ready to bake. If you see naan khatai, it has brownish glaze over it, its because of the egg.
