What is Nankhatai?

Nankhatai is a traditional Indian cookie that use just a handful of ingredients to perfectly pair with your hot cuppa chai. It literally melts in your mouth. That one bite will want you coming back for so much more. Heavenly…

It’s a crowd pleaser whether you’re at a festival or at home. Oh, and I really think they make the perfect wedding favours. These delicious cookies are dangerously addictive with their melt-in-the-mouth texture and the perfect crisp looking cracks. Yes, they look so good too. 

Did you know that Nankhatai comes from the Persian word Nan meaning bread and dari Persian word khatai meaning biscuits. If you were to do further research, one would come to realise that nankhatai has been adapted to individual taste through the ages. I’ve found that my mums recipe particularly, get the most attention.

Research shows that Nankhatai were baked first In India in the 16th century, the time when Dutch and Indians were the important spice traders, by a Dutch couple living in Surat, who opened a bakery, to meet the needs of local dutch residents. When they left, they handed the bakery to an Iranian.

Flavours and crunchiness is perfect.

Sis Jzk for the magaj.
Some feedback if I may… Allhamdullillah it’s very tasty.. I love the almonds and pistachios all mixed in crushed nicely and lovely taste. Flavour everything is great.. I think maybe a touch less sweeter would be better.. maybe a couple of table spoons or so less sugary .. otherwise absolutely perfect.
I gave half to my dad and I’ve kept half. Dad liked it too Allhamdullillah.
My son and husband tasted magaj too and they liked it . So mashallah well done.

Methi has just the right balance and not too karwi so perfect

Salaams, jzk again.
MashaAllah all are really nice and tasty. Methi has just the right balance and not too karwi so perfect 👌
And, i found that magaj is not too overly sweet, which is great for diabetics like me. No credit where its due. Even my daughter had two pieces, n shes not usually a fan of indian snacks 😂

Jamila

I like magaj as it crumbles n melts in my mouth.

Was salaamz,
I like magaj as it crumbles n melts in my mouth. My hubby prefers it a little bit more solid.

The methi is perfect. My hubby ain’t a methi fan but I think it’s spot on.

Goondar paak 👌🏻 for everyone!

Nan khatai I find it a little too sweet and it’s missing something. Not sure what.

Influencer Reviews

A great service keeping alive Indian traditions in the UK

Pictures of Coconut Pin Wheels, Magaj, Methi, Chevdo, Gundar Pak

Growing up in a Gujarati family our home was nearly always filled with chewro, sev, gathiya, magaj and in the winter methi paak and more. I also loved the Indian traditions of using food to supplement health post birth/ surgery and other food linked remedies to give strength and energy where needed using Ayurvedic principles.

It’s so great to see startups like @indiansnack_21 creating these goodies and scaling up to provide a nationwide delivery option to share with everyone. We were lucky enough to receive a taster pack from the team.

We received the below;

Magaj – a sweet halva made with gram flour, ghee and sugar or ghor

Methi paak – a winter tonic to preserve good health and strong backs – made from fenugreek powder which provides the slightly bitter flavour. My dad enjoyed this and gave it a thumbs up.

Aradyu – another sweet dish made with Adad flour, singoda flour and gram flour. Singoda is also great for good back health and is often used postpartum to support recovery.

Goondar paak – another sweet dish which is often used to bring thandak (coolness) to the body.

Naankhatai – buttery shortbread biscuits with nutmeg -an absolute classic in any Indian household

Chewro – (commonly known in the UK as Bombay Mix) this was yummy and didn’t last long at all in the house.

A great service keeping alive Indian traditions in the UK.

Pictures of Coconut Pin Wheels, Magaj, Methi, Chevdo, Gundar Pak

We were kindly gifted these traditional sweet and savoury snacks including:

Magaj – a treat cooked in desi ghee with nuts (almonds &pistachios ) , wholesome and rich . Had just the right amount of sweetness and crunch in it and was a favourite!

Gunder pak – traditional gutrati winter treat with dates &coconut flakes . Beneficial for adults ,kids and mothers. It has many health benefits ie boosts energy ,stamina , helps with joint pain and backache. A nutritious snack perfect with a glass of warm milk.

Naan khatai – needs no introduction… a bite and a crunch says it all. I literally loved this fresh n crispy biscuit dipped in my tea . Highly addictive.

Karachi biscuits – pinwheel biscuits with soft coconut filling . These were buttery n melt in the mouth. Perfectly salty like the ones commonly found in local karachi bakeries.

Chewdo – It was fresh n crunchy. A perfect tea time snack with cashews,peanuts,sultanas ,corn poha ,ricepoha .

Overall this care package filled with all the goodies was just so yummy & delicious. There was something for everyone in it .. including snacks and savouries.

Thankyou @indiansnacks_21 for keeping pakistani/ indian family traditions alive!

Traditional Recipes for Gujarati sweets and savouries have been passed through generations

In search of authentic homemade Indian snacks? Well you’ve come to the right post @indiansnack_21 have kindly gifted me a selection of their Indian (Gujarati) snacks!

Let me start of by first giving a short background info about the person behind this business:

@indiansnack_21 has always been inspired by her late mother who had a passion for Indian cooking. Her homemade snacks would bring so much joy in the family.

Traditional Recipes for Gujarati sweets and savouries have been passed through generations.

Unfortunately the tradition is beginning to fade away; as people who want authentic homemade snacks are instead buying readily available but factory made products.

@indiansnack_21 therefore wanted to bring back what her late mother taught her: the real taste of Gujarati snacks; using high quality ingredients!

I received the following:
Magaj, Methi Pak, Aradyu, Chewro and Gundar Pak

If I had to pick a favourite then it would be Chewro. Such a lovely mixture of nuts and other ingredients infused together which was loved by all. The Aradyu was also really nice. You could taste the flavours of the ingredients coming through.

My least favourite were the Magaj and Methi. Both tasted quite bitter and overpowering probably due to the elachi powder.

Overall, the best thing about these homemade snacks is that they (excl. chevdo) actually have some nutritional benefits. Makes one feel less guilty of consuming mithai.

Once again, thank you so much @indiansnack_21 for wanting me to review your products.

Would you like to try sorne? Well guess what!!
@indiansnack_21 have kindly offered not 1 but 100 customers a generous 10% discount for LIFE!

Yes you’ve read, their first 100 customers will benefit from a 10% discount FOREVER!
So are you still having second thoughts of ordering…
