Also, add in the coarsely ground cashew nut to this. However, cashew nuts are optional. You can make the nankhatai without the nuts as well. If you are not using it reduce the quantity of ghee.

Next, add ghee to make a smooth dough. The next step is to grease a cookie sheet or use a non-stick tray with butter or ghee. Now, make small balls out of the dough and press it lightly with your hands. You can make some cross cuts over the shaped balls and sprinkle some coarsely ground cashew nuts on this. On the other hand, if you are not using cashewnuts, you can even dab some pistachios or chopped almonds on the cookies.
