About pista nankhatai
Nankhatai is a very popular eggless biscuit, usually enjoyed with tea. The recipe for Nankhatai is quite simple, made with all-purpose flour, butter, and powdered sugar. To enhance its flavor, cardamom powder, almonds, and pistachios are added to make it even more delicious.
Nankhatai can be stored in an airtight container for 7-10 days after being made. Children love Nankhatai, but store-bought Nankhatai is not always healthy. That’s why people often avoid consuming it.
Homemade Nankhatai is not just tasty but also healthy. That’s why whenever you crave Nankhatai, make it at home. Nankhatai can be made in various ways—Pistachio Nankhatai, Vanilla Nankhatai, Chocolate Nankhatai, Multigrain Nankhatai, etc. Nankhatai is typically made using all-purpose flour (maida).
But instead of all-purpose flour (maida), Nankhatai can also be made with whole wheat flour. Nankhatai made from wheat flour is heavier to eat, but for those avoiding maida, it can be a great alternative. Now, let’s start making the Pistachio Nankhatai recipe.
