Occasion of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/india\/raksha-bandhan-gift-ideas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raksha Bandhan<\/a> is definitely not complete without sweets, so I thought why not make these delicious Indian cookies at home and celebrate the festival with a personal touch. Nankhatai is easy to make and can be stored for up to a week in an air tight container without refrigeration. They are a good option to make as the other milk based sweets need to be consumed within a day or so. I\u2019m sure you all would also be planning to take sweets with Rakhi to your brother\u2019s place and it would be wonderful to make something yourself. I\u2019m sure your brother would appreciate the lot, and the family can enjoy the festival together. So don\u2019t look any further and make these sweet cookies with this simple to follow Nankhatai recipe.
