Nankatai

Hurraaaaaaaaaaayyyyy This is my Century post.
I did miss my 1 year celebration of my blog as I was in India, so I really didn't want to forget my century post.

Ofcourse one always celelebrate with something sweet, so I thought why not celebrate with Nanakaty,I have a another reason to make them.Which is Nags The Saas, Bahu Aur Sensex event.

Visit here to know more about the movie here.

What Nags want is on her own wordsCome up with a dish for the contest. The only condition is that it needs to be an Indian recipe.
It can be anything ranging from a recipe an aunt passed along, a dish your mom used to make, quick enough so that she has time to pack you off to school and get to work herself, a meal that you enjoyed during your girls' night out with friends and want to re-create at home.

Well Nankatai is something as a kid and a teenager I had at home.
My mom used to make them in her oven.
You know the one which looks like a round box with a glass top on it.
She also used to buy from the bakers.
When ever my mom went out ( shopping in the town or just going to pay her electricity bill or visiting family) and came home she always had a small packet for us kids.

Inside it, it will be something from the bakers, it could be puffs, ladoos, Nankatai , anything.
If it was biscuits it would be quater kilo, and if it was laddos or jalebi or puffs it will be 3 numbers, one each for all three of us.

We were always happy to get them.
Can you imagine kids beeing happy now because their mom bought them biscuits or cookies from the baker.Well not mine for sure.
For her all these things are just normal everyday thing.

Anyway these are so easy to make.Ididn't get the shape like they have it in the bakers, any suggestion is always welcome.But they were super delicious. I loved them.
