Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, cream ghee and powdered sugar until fluffy.

Add yeast, warm water, and milk to the ghee mixture; stir until combined.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Roll the dough into small balls and then flatten them slightly.

Place a nut in the center of each cookie and fold the edges over to seal.

Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each cookie before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
