You'll need
- Wheat flour 90 g¾ cup3 oz
- Besan 30 g⅓ cup1 oz
- Semolina 15 g1½ tbsp
- Baking powder 1.5 g¼ tsp
- Green cardamom powder 1 g½ tsp
- Powdered sugar 80 g⅔ cup3 oz
- Ghee/Butter 90 g⅓ cup + 1 tbsp
Method
- Mix wheat flour, besan, semolina, baking powder, cardamom powder in a bowl.
- Separately cream ghee/butter with powdered sugar until fluffy.
Our tip Use ghee or butter that's soft but still solid, not melted. Melted fat won't whip up fluffy, and the naankhatai spread flat in the heat.
- Combine dry ingredients with creamed mixture to form soft dough.
Our tip Stop mixing as soon as no dry flour is left; kneading the dough makes them hard rather than crumbly.
- Shape dough into small balls, flatten slightly.
- Take a bake tray, brush butter/ghee over it & put naankhatai over it and slide the tray into Level 1.
- Switch the SmartSwitch to airfryer, select Bake mode at 160*C for or until light golden (flip in between if required).
Our tip They're very soft while hot, so if you do turn them, use a thin spatula. They're done when the tops have cracked and the bases are light golden; they firm up as they cool.
- Cool before serving.
