November 26, 2018 by maria 12 Comments

Chocolate Nankhatai Recipe with step by step photos. This nankhatai is crumbly, tempting and easy to make ! Twist to desi nankhatai by adding dash of cocoa powder. Also topped with few choco chips. It’s tempting you can just act like one glutton eating these cute biscuits. I have made traditional nankhatai which was tasty. But the chocolate version is just too adorable.

Kids will love these nankhatai’s. Even when you place them on a platter with other sweets. This brown nankhatai will stand out. As soon as I made a batch of these they got over very soon. In fact the same day had made nankhatai and chocolate nankhatai. The chocolate ones disappeared soon. The best part of this dessert is it can be made for Diwali and Christmas both.

If you ask me honestly I loved both version. But as I mentioned earlier the choco chips attract people towards it. Also because of cocoa powder the biscuits becomes crispy and crunchy.You could make you own version of nankhatai like pistachio flavored, saffron flavored etc.

Notes

Instead of pistachio add any nut of your choice.

You could chill the dough into freezer. Thaw for 30 mins then read to use.

      Ushma thanks for positive views. Glad to know you liked the nankhatais 🙂 you can add about 2 teaspoons of rava (semolina). Adding semolina will make the nankhatais more crispier and tastier.
