A 1 kg box of Almond Nan Khatai from Khalifa Bakers contains approximately 32 pieces. If you are asking how many Nan Khatai are in 1 kg of the plain variety, the answer is slightly different: approximately 28 to 30 pieces, because each plain piece is slightly larger. The exact count can vary because Nan Khatai at Khalifa Bakers is made by hand and sold by weight, not by fixed piece count.
Nan Khatai Piece Count by Variety in 1 KG
The number of Nan Khatai pieces in 1 kg depends on which variety you order. Each type has a slightly different average piece weight:
- Almond (Badami) Nan Khatai: Approximately 30 to 32 pieces per kg. Average weight per piece: 31 grams.
- Plain (Sada) Nan Khatai: Approximately 28 to 30 pieces per kg. Each piece is slightly larger in diameter because there is no almond in the center.
These numbers are approximate. The traditional Nan Khatai is a handmade biscuit. At Khalifa Bakers, each piece is shaped individually by hand using a method that has not changed since 1925. Slight variations in piece size are normal and expected. When you order by weight, you always receive the full kilogram.
Why the Piece Count Matters When Ordering
Knowing approximately how many Nan Khatai are in 1 kg helps you plan for the right occasion. If you are hosting a gathering, you need to estimate how many pieces per person. If you are buying as a gift, you need to decide between 0.5 kg or 1 kg based on how many people will receive it.
For a family of 4 to 5 people having Nan Khatai with evening chai, 0.5 kg (about 15 to 16 pieces of almond) will last a few days. For a gathering of 10 or more people where Nan Khatai is a tea-time snack, 1 kg is a safer quantity. Most people eat 3 to 4 pieces per sitting.

How Pieces Are Sized at Khalifa Bakers
Khalifa Bakers uses the traditional hand-sizing method that has been in practice since the bakery opened in 1925 in the Walled City of Lahore. Bakers portion the dough into small rounds and flatten them slightly before baking. For the almond version, a whole almond is pressed into the center after shaping.
Because each piece is made by hand, they are consistent in general size but not perfectly identical. The bakery fills all orders by weight. This means the piece count may differ by one or two pieces between orders of the same weight, but the total weight is always accurate.
This handmade process is part of what makes Khalifa Bakers’ Nan Khatai distinct from factory-produced alternatives. To learn more about how the biscuit is made, read the full guide to how Nan Khatai is made at Khalifa Bakers.
Online Orders vs Buying In Store
Whether you order online through khalifabakers.shop or visit the shop in person at Mochi Gate, the piece count per kilogram is the same. Online orders are packed fresh and shipped the same day or next day within Lahore, and within 2 to 4 working days for other cities across Pakistan.
If you need a specific number of pieces rather than a specific weight, calling 03707120749 ahead of your visit is the most reliable option. The team can estimate the number of pieces based on the weight you order and guide you on the right quantity for your occasion.
