Meerut. Wherever the word khatai is used, people associate it with sourness because you will find many varieties of khatai on the carts in which khatai is used but today we will tell you about a khatai which is not sour but sweet. Its craze is seen among children as well as the elderly. Yes, we are talking about the Nankhatai made in Meerut in western Uttar Pradesh, which still has a special identity across the country in terms of quality.
You can guess the craze for Nankhatai from the fact that Nankhatai is especially available in the historic Nauchandi fair. Fair lovers are seen buying Nankhatai for their homes. Not only this, Nankhatai is also very much liked in political circles. In such a situation, whenever politicians go to Delhi or Lucknow in the summer season, they especially take Nankhatai from Meerut because if we talk about this unique sweet, it is exactly like a biscuit.
This is how Nankhatai is prepared
While talking to Local 18, Sandeep Rewadi, a Nankhatai trader in Meerut, said that if we talk about Nankhatai, then Nankhatai is prepared from gram flour, moong dal, semolina and melon seeds. About 5 to 6 artisans have to work continuously to prepare Nankhatai. After that, Nankhatai is cooked on coal or in some places on a gas furnace. Then it is ready. If we talk about its rate, then it starts from Rs 300 per kg.
