Peanut butter and ghee nan khatai

I tried nan khatai erlier & did not post it. This time round, I tried a fusion of two -three recipes & tweaked them a little. I used peanut butter as also ghee. I mixed, whole wheat flour or atta with besan or chickpea flour ( chana dal flour ) & rava or sooji.

For the flour besan rava mix, inspiration was a You tube video .

Since I had peanut butter ,I googled for nan khatai making use of peanut butter. I got two peanut butter cookie recipes .One used eggs & another was eggless. Both recipes by the same food blogger.

I added flax seed meal as I was making eggless nan khatai. And I used ghee & peanut butter in equal amounts.

Steps

1

Add 3-4 tbsp water to 1 tbsp flax seed meal.Mix nicely & keep aside in a small bowl. Let this be kept aside for 15-20 minutes.
2

Preheat oven to 200 degrees centigrade for 20 minutes.
3

Mix besan, rava & atta nicely with a spoon or whisk. keep aside.
4

Mix peanut butter & ghee nicely. Add powdered sugar to it. Mix sugar with ghee & peanut butter nicely.Add this ghee peanut butter-sugar mixture to flour rava mix. Mix nicely.
5

After 15-20 minutes of soaking flax seed meal in water, pour the soaked flax seed meal water mix into the dough mix containing flour-rava-sugar-peanut butter ghee.Add water little by little if the dough is crumbly. Dough must be such that small cookies can be shaped by hand out of the dough
6

Shape small cookies from the dough. Put the cookies on butter paper. Put the butter paper on to a tray.Bake them at 200 degrees centigrade for 20-30 minutes(in total after baking them 2-3 times). I baked them in two trays in the oven...one below the other. So,the baking was improper. I had to bake many times And some got browned a tad too much & 2-3 got burnt.
7

Baking in an electric oven is unfamiliar & so I erred. I forgot to bake the cookies from below & when, I tried to do that, I went overboard.Some got browned to chocolate brown shade & 2-3 got burnt.
8

The cookies turned out somewhat chewy. My dad felt they were not crisp. Sweetness was okay.
9

I forgot to add baking powder and or baking soda. I skipped adding elachi or cinnamon powder. The cookies can be garnished with almond or cashews before baking & they turn out to be almond or cashew embedded cookies. Or any dry fruit of choice.
