I have used ghee(clarified butter) in this recipe. You can also use butter in this recipe. I once tried making this semolina nan khatai with oil, but the final nan khatais were not up to the mark.
That’s why I will recommend using wither ghee(clarified butter) or butter.

For making the nan khatais we will first take ghee and sugar in a mixing bowl. It would be better to use powdered sugar. For this simply add the granulated sugar into a blender jar and powder it. powdered sugar gets mixed well with ghee (or butter) and therefore helps in giving the semolina nan khatais a proper taste.
