About Ghee Biscuits | Nei Biscuits
Ghee biscuits are very popular in south part of india. It is made using flour, sugar, flavouring agent and ghee. Typically ghee biscuits are known as indian biscuits. You can add saffron in this for more indian touch. These are similar to nan khatai but nan khatai has gram flour | besan added.
You can use wheat flour or plain white flour in making this cookies. Same way demerara sugar can use used instead of white sugar. I would recommend to powder the demerara sugar before using. But brown sugar may affect the texture of the cookies.
