Delicious nan khatai are ready.take them out of the oven & let them cool over the cooling rack before serving.these r perfect companion with tea.

sometimes nan khatai are made just with all purpose flour thats why they get that white colour but here i have used besan & semolina too,so my nan khatai are little golden brown in colour,its my moms recipe.enjoy!!
