The day I came to US and saw this fabulous cooking range with oven..nankatai was first thing that striked my mind.I remembered how my mom and MIL both used to make it amazingly good ..me too wanted to try the same at home....finally after one year I did it and it was a great hit....Diwali time is the time when every one wants to enjoy sweets...I made nankatai only for my dear hubby as he loves sweets like anything...
Around this time of year---ie diwali... rather or any time of the year, for that matter, everyone is looking for cookie recipes....Here in america no one will refer it as nankatai..they just will know it when u say cookies...so nankatai is nothing but butter cookies or eggless cookies or biscuits
