Oh WOW!!!!

Do they really get baked to make such wonderful Nankhatai? I like it's cookie like structure and rather crisp & brittle taste as it melts in mouth!

I would like to try, not yet comfortable with baking of this quality though!

And what do I say about presentation? You could be a professional food photographer - last photo is AMAZING!!!! :-)

Thank you!
