IMP : Nankatai should not be disturbed when it is just done else it will fall apart .It should be allowed to cool down and become stiff.Also check in between when its baking.Just when it gets golden color, it is done.Believe me.I did it the first time and overbaked it.It will become good after it cools down.

Oh my God....believe me..its melting in my mouth .....yummy, easy and fast !! Njoy...
