Notes
You may use plain flour instead of whole wheat flour which is used in the traditional recipe. We have used wholewheat flour because it is healthier.
You may use any nuts like almonds, macadamia, walnuts, pine nuts for garnish. Nankhatai will harden after it cools down. It is slightly soft when you cook for 13 minutes. You can cook for 2 mins more as per your texture preference.
