Nan Khatai is a crumbly, delicate shortbread biscuit. By its nature, it breaks more easily than hard cookies or biscuits. When Khalifa Bakers delivers Nan Khatai across Pakistan, some pieces may arrive cracked or broken due to the movement during transit. This is normal. What counts as acceptable, what counts as excessive, and what to do about it are explained in this guide.
Why Nan Khatai Breaks in Transit
Nan Khatai is made with a high proportion of desi ghee and very little binding agent. This gives it the crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth texture that makes it a good tea biscuit. The same texture makes it fragile under pressure and movement. A metal tin full of Nan Khatai being transported by courier over several hours or days will experience vibration, stacking pressure, and handling. This causes some pieces to crack or break.
Khalifa Bakers packs orders in sealed metal tins placed inside protective outer boxes to reduce movement. Despite this, breakage during transit cannot be completely eliminated for a product with this texture.
Normal Breakage vs. Excessive Damage
| Type | What It Looks Like | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Normal breakage | A few cracked or split pieces; crumbs at the bottom of the tin; pieces broken in half | Eat as normal. Broken pieces taste the same. |
| Moderate breakage | Around 20 to 30% of pieces are broken; noticeable crumb layer at bottom | Acceptable for most situations. Still fresh and edible. |
| Excessive damage | More than half the pieces are crushed; the tin shows signs of impact damage | Photograph and call 03707120749 the same day |
Is Broken Nan Khatai Still Good to Eat?
Yes. Broken Nan Khatai is the same product as whole Nan Khatai. The flavor, freshness, and ingredients are unchanged. Broken pieces taste exactly the same when eaten or dunked in chai. The only difference is appearance. For personal consumption, broken pieces are perfectly fine. For gifting purposes, if the appearance matters, contact the bakery about replacement options before the gift is needed.
How to Report Excessive Damage
- Take photographs of the outer packaging, the tin, and the contents before eating any of the product
- Note the order date, delivery date, and the courier company and tracking number if you have it
- Call 03707120749 on the same day of delivery during shop hours (9 AM to 9 PM)
- Describe the damage and share photographs if requested
Do not wait several days before calling. Reporting the same day gives the bakery the best chance to investigate and respond appropriately.
How to Reduce Breakage Risk
- For large or important orders, request express delivery to reduce the number of handling events
- If ordering for a specific event or gift, order a few days early so you have time to replace damaged pieces if needed
- For bulk orders of 5 kg or more, call 03707120749 to discuss reinforced packing options for long-distance delivery
