Naan Katai / Narayan Katar Filed under ( Amchikele Randap/Konkani food, Cakes and Cookies )

Yepppppyyyyy……after so much of thoughts n thoughts a super oven entered my kitchen….:) Yeyyyyy nd now I can Bake…

After so much of discussion nd talks I found the Samsung Convection oven with ceramic inner body is good…. I kno each one has their own choice of selectin a oven….
Its been 3 months we ver waitin for the Oven nd yesterday was the ryt time…. 

I always wanted to bake cute goodies…. Like cookies brownies but I could never succeed in it… but  today I proved it wrong… My first bake in this oven was a super success…. I baked Naan Katai.

Naan Katai / Narayan Katar A yummy eggless Indian cookie and its absolutely easy to make with minimum ingredients.

Narayan Katar is a Konkani word for Naan Katai…. I really donno y is it called so…:D.

Amma used to make them and give it  to a near by bakery (as they were family frenz:D).  she used to make these goodies especially for me… not to forget for my dad too… but lots for me :P.

Today I called up amma early in the morning asking her for the recipe and as usual she gave me a fool proof recipe which I can always trust. After a long chit chat I cud’nt wait to try them.

But but…. I did not have Maida…L  I had  all the reason to feel bad but  I get myself cheered up vthin seconds…:D Not to worry lemme try with wheat flour was my thought.

ND yeh it was a super hit nd success….

Here is what I used:

3/4^th cup wheat flour

3/4^th cup powdered Sugar

½ cup ghee (adjust according to the mixture)

1/4^th tsp baking soda
Almonds to decorate (optional, Amma never used it though)

Method:

Preheat oven at 180 C.

Add powdered sugar and ghee in a bowl nd mix well until creamy

Now add wheat flour and  Mix gently with hands until it comes together.

Roll it into round lemon sized balls and dab the cookie in between and place a almond on top of it. 

 Bake 10-11 minutes until the milk turns light golden brown.

 Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a minute.

 Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Tastes Yum Yum when u add lozza love in it.


Till later then
