White Chocolate and Cinamon Nan Khatai- Indian spiced Shortbread !

I am a die hard fan of nan-khatai. Either with cup of tea or on it's own, they make me happy. Most of the time I like to stick to the original recipe and I don't like to deviate much from it, but I couldn't resist tweaking the original nan-khatai recipe. I decided to add white chocolate and cinnamon. By adding white chocolate I brought a western spark to this eastern delicacy. They were simply divine, irresistible and scrumptious.  you can see my traditional nan khatai recipe here.

You will need :-

• 500 g Plain flour
• 50g Chickpea flour

• 200g caster sugar

• 2 tsp cinnamon powder
• 100 g grated white chocolate or white hot chocolate powder

Method:-
In a big bowl beat the ghee and sugar until fluffy. Now add Flours, semolina, baking powder and cinnamon powder and chocolate. Bind into a dough. pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4-5 and make small balls and flatten slightly. Place on a greased line baking tray..Leave enough space between them. Bake in a pre-heated oven about 14-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Enjoy !
