Description
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.

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.

A great service keeping alive Indian traditions in the UK
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.

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.
