[galbins]

anti jee tusi greet ho

[karandebipin]

crap I din like this video, as no temperature specified F or C n those nan khatai's are not like as we get in bakery's.

[skinnypigeon]

Thank You Manjula Aunty! I am a thirty years old guy from Pakistan. Naan khatai has been my favourite cookie and I always wondered how it's made. Then finally, I'm really glad I found You here. It's fantastic, You made it look so simple and easy. I did try it today but it was that easy to make it for me as it looked, obviously because I have no baking experience whatsoever. The Dough turned out to be a little more sticky and I had to use some whole wheat flour in the end to make it firm.

[YummyBaking]

m makig naan khatai but aunty i did as u said but my dough is so dry even i tried again with more soft butter but its happin again,at last i make bools with difficulty n waiting how thy cum out but let me know y its happin.

[anurajesh11]

in what mode we use

[aswini1985]

Aunty can you please me know i don't have oven :( i don't have effort to buy as well..is there any way to to bake them? please advice me.

[jyothipd170]

Would it be okay to use powdered sugar?

Also, can this be made in the microwave?

[saad1995ist]

Hi aunty, your recipe is very good. But as u said that we need to preheat the oven upto 350 c, but in my oven the maximum temp is 250 c. So, how can i adjust it?

Thank You.

[vsinghy]

@saad1995ist

CONVERT IT TO CENTIGRADES

[NIghtRider805]

[masumasalman]

[tanyabuzz90]

[sabzilicious]

[rehanashaur]

[sweetrose464]

namaste

I can't find unsalted butter in my locality...can i substitute it wth regular butter or ghee??

[Z19901000]

very nice and thanx mam

[yojnarastogi]

Hi Manjula ji, I m a greate fan of ur cooking, I tried to prepare it. I preheated oven at 375 degree, but when i put naankhatai in oven, after 7-8 min. naankhatai starts burning from bottom side. And naankhatai does not look prepared from the top side.

What should i do. Please suggest me.

[seempule]

@yojnarastogi Hey Yojna if you are using a oven with Celsius temp setting then set your temperature 190 Celsius (the equivalent of 375 Fahrenheit). If that is not the case then reduce the temp and place the baking sheet closer to the top of the oven.

[MsKanaha]

Hello Mrs.Manjula, i backed the nankatai but afer baking it bacame powder as we start touching i dont know what went wrong can we subsititude butter with dalda? do we have to use slightly roasted suji and gramflour?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@MsKanaha

I think you used too much baking soda.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@MsKanaha

I think you put too much baking soda

[issero7]

Good evening Manjula, Thank You for sharing your cooking skills.

I LOVE your videos very much ! stay well......

[chandrikahatti]

Hi Manjula Ji, U r recipies are very good n very easy to make..

Have a small doubt abt this..As oven in my house Max is 220c so could u let me know how long do i have to cook..

Usually i go wrong here itself n burn cookies..

[seempule]

@chandrikahatti she is using a Fahrenheit temp scale in the video. Set your oven to 190 Celsius (its the same as 375 Fahrenheit) and you will be fine

[foody1010]

Hey Auntie.. Thanks for the wonderful recipe... I just tried it out.. and it turned out to be yumm.. But still I would like to know is there a way where in I can make it without using Gram Flour???

Please Let me know

[MsScorpyscorp]

HI manjula.. The nan khatais look great. U have made the recipe look so much simpler thru ur demonstration. Grt going.

[Gutsyndicate]

you like to add unsalted butter, cardamon powder and pistachio in every recipe.

lol@

[noni854]

Hi Manjula ji, your recipes have been extremely helpful for me as your way of explaining is fantastic.Love indian foods and respect you.thanks.

[forgmail1]

Hello Aunty...Thanks for the wonderful recipe..It really came out very good!! love your recipes!!

Could u tell us how to make jeera biscuit and ajwain biscuits without egg?

[liparereema09]

Hey manjula aunty ...i tried ur recipe....the cookies came out fantastic......but some how my cookies were not flattened as urs......anyways thx for the recipe

[yapi85]

Ummm, ummm!! Wonderful nan khatais. Brings back my child hood memories, when my Mom used to make the dough and send it to the bakers for baking. Thank you for the recipe.

[ellie3637]

Thank you Manjula, these look wonderful,

[ThePatricianinja]

Your recipes are great!  Thank you for sharing.

[dumptonpark]

Thank you. You are a wonderfull cook and your recipes are fantastic.

[anu3985]

can i use a microwave for this , and how ?

[TheTawki]

Good morning Manjula. I tried to make your nan katai biscuits yesterday. It took a while but the results were great. I doubled the amount. I also tried a few slightly different versions based on VahChef's recipe too, by adding cocoa powder and a touch of milk to make cocoa versions, and also adding more almonds and pistachio in the main biscuit mix in addition to the garnish on top. The biscuits need to be fairly spaced apart on the baking tray to allow for expansion. Thanks for posting:)

[TheTawki]

375 degrees fahrenheit is 190 degree celsius. Gas mark 5. Moderately hot.

half a cup of butter in this recipe equals to 113.4g or 4oz or 8 tablespoons of butter

[garykewl619]

Namaste Aunty Ji! :)

Well I recently bought a microwave oven, So I was just checking out your lovely recipes, I checked the naan one, and dis one too is great!

I saw you are cooking these items in an oven, so I was just wondering whether i'll be able to cook these things in my microwave somehow?!?

[kokonutbaby1]

Those look delicious! Where can I find these other types of flour like graham flour and semolina? Does the cookie taste similar to shortbread cookies?

[shuchita85]

@kokonutbaby1 : This is not Graham flour, but gram flour also known as chickpea flour... and semolina is nothing but coarse wheat... you can find them in any indian/pakistani or asian store

[purnimayank]

thanks for ur recipe..

it seems easy

n i m looking forward to make it.

but i have a query..

can ghee be used instead of butter??

[Manjulaskitchen]

@purnimayank

If you are using ghee use about teaspoon less and make sure ghee is not melted.

[forgmail1]

Hello Aunty...Thanks for the wonderful recipe..It really came out very good!! love your recipes!!

Could u tell us how to make jeera biscuit and ajwain biscuits without egg?

[fisioserv]

I have tasted these indian biscuits and they are excellent

[jassiksaini]

[Pavitsimi]

i loved your pineapple cake you made , me and my mum are making it now . we are making it now because its my brothers b'day ....

[fvk4ver]

Aunt,what is carbon powder?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@fvk4ver

Not carbon powder It is cardamom in Hindi elachi

[parvathyvd]

haiii Manjula Aunty

Can I make this in Microwave??/

[SNA1990]

Bari nawazish aap ki. I'll definitely try that but I do have a question. Doesn't greasing the baking tray make the biscuits spread out too much?

[ammabliss]

Hello Aunty,i always follow your recipes.Is there any other way to make these as i dont have an oven.Will microwave work for this,Aunty?

Thankyou and God bless you.

[manalsameersafeer]

you are good i love your recipes

[maliks78]

how about using ghee instead of unsalted butter?can u help with it?

[CutieTheGP]

my mom made these for a party and they were gone in about 10 min a big hit! thanks

[choorijamadar]

are these cookies supposed to be eggless?..if there is a versin with eggs how many wud u put in??

[foodrecipies]

hello aunty can i make it in microwave ? and i do not have that cookie sheet. is there any substitute of it ? reply plz.... thanks for sharing yummy & mouth watering recipes... 

[queenbunny76]

Where can I get Gram flour?

[payalnandi]

@queenbunny76 Its also called Chickpea Flour or "Besan " In Hindi n is available from all Indian grocery stores.Also buy the fine ground version as some places have a coarser ground, not suitable for this recipe.Hope it helps.

[kokojooja]

I am big fan of your cooking.You have very easy Recipes.Dear Aunty May God bless you.

[TheShinyskin]

Hey Manjula Aunti, u are really genius and doing a great job. I have made your nan khataies no. of times and they turn out very delicious and yummy every time. everyone who tastes those is speechless and full of all the appreciation and applause for the same. I am also a great fan of your great cooking and your style nature is also very calm, cool and lovely. I LIKE U VERY MUCH. Loads of thanks and all the gud wishes for your future recipesto go...................

[komaldolia]

can u plz teach us how to make daal baati

[Manjulaskitchen]

@komaldolia

This is in my list to do

[ostwaltwinkle]

hi i have a few questions is baking powder and baking soda same .......or is it that u r saying abt soda bi carb and the other thing i wanted to ask what if we do not have this 375degree in our oven max is 220 can u plz guide thank u

[payalnandi]

@ostwaltwinkle Hi, sorry cudn't help answering ur questions.Baking powder n Soda bi carb is diff.Soda bi carb is also called baking soda.SO make sure u use what the recipe says.Also the temp in USA is in Fahrenheit.SO it is 375 degree fahrenheit.WHen converted to degree celisius, its about 190.Tht's the temp u shud use in ur oven.375 celsius will burn food rt away.So it does not exist on our ovens where celsius is used.

[sadieahmed]

very nice nankhatai i am going to make it today,thank you very much,,do u have some biscuit recipe please

[subha2924]

Hello Aunty,

[kitkatreema]

I just made this Manjula auntie and its very very goooood!..thank you for such a nice recipe..i tried vahchef's recipe too but it wasn't as good at this... this is just lovely...!

[Vartuhi100]

your cookies was good looking. one day i start to make this cookies but, i could not understand what was the seconed flour you show after semolin. so i did it with out it just to see if it will works. You know what happened after backing i put all in garbage.

Can you please explaine what is the seconed flour after semolin.Thanks

[indiangirl1976]

Does sooji or semolina ever go bad....like if its been sitting in your pantry for a long while...anyone???

[santsub]

@indiangirl1976 Yes Sooji can go bad if its got moisture or anything in it or is kept for a very long time. It even emits stale smell after storing for very long.

[cutesuvi]

hi aunty i like all ur recipies n they hv cme out very well whn i try cookin ..

bt my nan kattai got fully melted all over the tray within 10 mins n gt deformed .. i dont knw where i went wrong .. pls advice ..

[SirFunnyBubble]

manjula auntie can you use flour that you use for roti, shukria

[ameedesai10]

Hello Aunty,

I love your recipes.. Many thanks for sharing vth us...

Aunty, in this receipt, when i took it out of oven , it was all spread in a thin layer...

What could be the reason of it?.. it was oven heat or i might have over whipped it?.. Please guide:)

[Manjulaskitchen]

@ameedesai10

it can be over whipped or cut down on baking soda

[ameedesai10]

Hello Manjula Aunty, I have started following your recispe.. and I am very happy.. got lot of complements from family and friends (specially from my husband) Many thanks aunty :)

But when i made nankhatai.. my all cookies got spread on the sheet.. when i took it out of the oven it was one single thin layer on the sheet.. what could be the reason?... the oven temperature or I might have over whipped it?

Please guide me..

Thanks

[Saleharoks12]

what i like about u is that u take the time to make every single,individual cookie your self. Especially when u made gol gapas, u could have used a cookie cutter but u individually used a small rolling pin. ur the best

[M94evergreen]

My aunt used this recipe to make for the family. It was simple but delicious. Thanks for the good recipe :D

[abhiramimuthu]

Thank you for this easy recipe. I am going to make these biscuits and give them as presents to our friends :)

[homout]

Nice job Manjula..love your cooking

[kaleyvanee]

hi can you plse give me the butter in pounds not in cup ,it is difficult to measure in cup. thks for yr reply

[kancharlapavan]

it was very simple and quick recipe. we could make very tasty biscuts...

[ladyjosephinelover]

looks like a delicious and very filling biscuit

[loner12344]

I made this today and had it with a Chai recipe from Suvir Saran's cookbook. Although teh cookies turned out good, they did not quite taste or look like the (domed) Nan Khatai of my childhood made by my father. Is there some sort of acidic ingredient that needs to go in to make them domed? or salt? You said above that "you will taste salt" but i do not see any reference to salt. Please help. Please keep uo the great work. I am very happy with these.

[supriyabehl]

Very good recipe I like all of ur recipes

They r really gud

[TheReetal]

manjulaji, 1/2 cup butter means how many pounds/ounces of butter did u use?

Please reply.

[addukka]

Manjulaji, the oven shud be preheated to 375 degrees C or Farenheit?

[zapbuddha]

It'll, of course, be in Fahrenheit. If it is in Centigrade, the Nan Khatai will be very charred, so Nan left to eat ;-)

[rayhananina]

357 F

[CraftyKoo]

@addukka probably Fahrenheit . if it was Celsius the oven would burn the cookies and your house!

[Outofpetrol]

Thats making me so hungry! Looks really tasty!

[brikeney]

thank you so much for making so many wonderful videos.. You are making my life so much easier. My boyfriend will be so surprised when I start making him food from his own country... :)

[Hemasha]

Thanks Manjula auntie. The cookies are great. I'm doing it for diwali.

[snehaRajurkar]

can I put salted butter?... its hard to find non salted butter... will it change the taste noticeably? will it make a big difference? help me here plz.

[Manjulaskitchen]

every thing else willbe ok but you will taste salt.

[tahminajaman]

1/2 cupbutter?is it one stick butter?

[khreedar]

Thanks!

[betterhurryup]

Thank you so much!! I love your recipes!!

[vidisha85]

I tried this one and came out very well. Thanks a lot

[gcarped]

Is there a substitute for gram flour? I have not been able to find it in the stores in my city. I have read many recipes that call for it and am so far disappointed in my search for this ingredient. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[GHarrisonFan]

Could make your own by grinding dry chickpeas in a blender, but that would be really hard on the machine. All I can think of doing is adding something very sticky, she uses it for an egg replacer, you could honestly add an egg and half as much all purp flour as besan. I'm a vegan and I don't want to make Manjula mad, but an egg would be about the only thing that could do the trick.

[Manjulaskitchen]

replace the gram flour with whole wheat flour that will work great.

[hareemali]

can i use home made butter(made by yogurt )

plz guide me

[junyaaathwani]

This is the best Nan Khatai I have ever tasted in my life & I am so happy as it's made by me. All thanks to Manjula aunty. I was searching for a simple egg less recipe for todays Raksha Bandhan function. I found it 2 hrs back & its so easy that I made 24 nan khatais, eat 2 & now posting this comment here.Thanks again for making our day so sweet!

[RadhaSriram]

its a yummy biscuit. this is the first time i have made a biscuit and it has come out excellent. it just melts in the mouth. thanx

[supporttruth]

oyey hoey i am going to the kitchen to make this just now let you knwo how they turned up ,,:) if they dont come out nicely then i will go to the shop and get them !lol

[Sonnali]

I have not eaten this for past 14 years,and I made some Nan Khatai today, OMG were they ever good.

Thank you your recipes!

[arabianqueen2]

what is another good topping for this? for those who don't like any type of nuts.

[supporttruth]

jam ,:) just a little bit of dark red gooey jam .its perfact ,in pakistan they use just a spot of jam on nan khatais.

[chickenwings83]

Thank you so much for Video

[dumadum1234]

namastey auntiji....could u pls make a video for how to make besan seerni......i think u know abt it, its mostly made in weddings with sakarparas,its made with besan with sugar coating.....its a munchie

[ajanixa]

[yaiamthebest]

Hello Manjula Aunty,

I tried this recipe and it turned out so good that my husband didn't believe that I prepared them at home.

Hat's off to you.

[Jiya15]

looks soooooo great

[videos777]

Hello...I tried out this recipe today but the biscuits turned out to be too soft and were breaking when I was trying to take them out of the sheet....the taste was wonderful though...how can I make sure that I get the right texture?

[chandnee]

1. leave them on sheet for 30 mins to cool down before removing.

2. remove from sheet b sliding off movement.

[tradveena]

hi manjulaji,

As i told u before i did try it out and as i saw a comment that it turned out disastrous i was little scared. anyways without expectations i tried it out and to my pleasant surprise it turned out very well.

[tradveena]

i am off to try it manjulaji..!let me comment back how it turned our;)

[vidyapai77]

Dear Manjulaji

I tried your recipe but unfortunately turned out to be disastrous. Looks like butter was too much perhaps; i had a bar of butter of 500 gms. I used little less than 2/3rds of it. I had to add lots of fluors again to make it a stiffer dough. after 5 mins of baking it bacame almost flat and all pieces stuck to one another and was a big single pc. at the end. Can you suggest what kud have gone wrong?

[catsmew]

you need 112 grams of butter. Also make sure that your cookie sheet is thick, I think.

[priyanka1875]

Hi Manjulaji

I saw your recepie yesterday & tried they came out very well everyone in my home enjoyed it
