Nankatai

Ingredients

1/2 kg All Purpose Flour
, 1/4 kg Ghee,
1/4 kg Sugar,
Cardamom powder,
Pistachios for decoration

Method

1. Sieve all purpose flour twice.
2. Mix ghee and sugar. Beat well (on low speed) or mix with hands until sugar dissolves completely.
3. Add flour alternately mixing with hands. Knead well to form a smooth dough.
4. Make small balls of this dough and flatten them. Decorate each flattened ball with pistachio on top. (Use a spoonful of milk to stick the pistachios.)
5. Preheat oven to 375^oF
6. Place all the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they turn off-white.

Proper kneading of dough for at least 15 minutes makes crisp cookies.
