Nankhatai
Long before we Indians taste our first cookie or shortbread, we are acquainted with Nankhatai, or ‘Bakery Biscuit’ as it was called in my household. Available in sweet and salty versions, this is the ultimate crumbly accompaniment to that seaming hot cup of Chai. (Tea and scones anyone?)
The word nankhatai is derived from the Persian word naan meaning bread and khatai from a Dari Persian word meaning biscuit.Nankhatai has been borrowed into the Burmese language as nankahtaing. It is called by "NaanaHatha" in Tamil language in East Tamil Nadu & "Gnanakathaa" in The Sinhala Language in Sri Lanka.In Afghanistan and Northeast Iran, these biscuits are called kulcha-e-khataye Kulcha is a type of Afghan, Iranian and Indian bread similar to naan
