Panjiri Recipe
Description
This Panjiri Recipe uses whole wheat flour roasted in ghee until reaching a nutty aroma and golden color, which forms the base. Cashews or almonds are added, either roasted separately or with the flour, alongside raisins for bursts of sweetness. Powdered sugar stirred in after cooking balances the savory and nutty notes with gentle sweetness.
The process involves gentle, continuous stirring over low heat to evenly brown the flour without burning, preserving the characteristic fragrance. The final product is left to cool and stored in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crumbly.
Panjiri serves as a nourishing treat or snack and can be customized by varying the nuts or sweetness level. Its shelf stability makes it convenient for storing several days.
