Recipe for Ragi Nankhatai Biscuit
Ingredients
- Ragi Flour - 2 cups
- Sugar - 3/4 cup (powdered)
- Dalda/Butter/Ghee - 1 cup (soft and at room temperature)
- Cardomon - 2 pods (crushed/powdered)
- Baking Soda - 1 tsp
- Salt - a pinch
Cooking Directions
Dry roast the ragi flour for about 10 minutes until a nice aroma comes out.
Do this on a very low flame to prevent the ragi from getting burnt.
Add sugar, butter/ghee, baking soda and crushed cardomon to this and mix well.
The moisture from the butter/ghee would be sufficient to make the dough. Add more butter if needed.
Make small lemon sized balls out of the dough and line it in a cookie sheet/ baking tray.
You could also flatten the dough and cut out different cookie shapes using a cookie cutter
Bake it in a 300 degree F (150 C) oven for about 12-15 minutes.
This can be stored for many weeks and served as a snack or given as a festival sweet.
