Mini naan khatai… but make it tiny and too cute to handle 👌
These soft, crumbly, cardamom-kissed biscuits are my favourite nostalgic bake —
My late naani would make a small batch and wrap a few for me in foil and send it with her helper … simple, humble little biscuits filled with all her warmth and love.
It reminds me of a time when life felt softer, slower, and so full of comfort
I made 77 little bites of joy, perfect for chai, gifting or hiding from the family 😌❤️😉 (just kidding, we don't hide, we share😁)
