Wholesome and Traditional: The Rich Goodness of Desi Panjeeri

Desi Panjeeri is a traditional South Asian sweet dish known for its nutritional benefits. It’s made using ingredients like whole wheat flour, Desi ghee, Shukkar, and a variety of nuts and seeds. Here’s a detailed description of the process:

Ingredients:

•  Whole wheat flour: Provides a hearty base and is a good source of fiber.
• Desi Ghee: Adds richness and flavor to the panjeeri.
• Desi Shakkar : Sweetens the dish to taste.
• Nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios, Cashew nuts, Phool Makhna, Kashmish ): Enhance the nutritional profile with healthy fats and proteins.
• Seeds (sesame seeds): Contribute additional texture and nutritional value.

Procedure:

1. Roasting: Begin by roasting whole wheat flour in ghee until it turns golden brown. This step imparts a nutty flavor to the dish.
2. Adding Nuts and Seeds: Incorporate chopped nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, and pistachios, along with seeds. Stir them well into the roasted flour.
3. Sweetening: Gradually add desi shakkar to the mixture, adjusting the sweetness according to your preference.
4. Mixing: Continuously stir the mixture on low heat to ensure even blending of all ingredients. The goal is to create a homogeneous mixture.
5.  Cooling and Shaping: Once mixed thoroughly, allow the panjeeri mixture to cool slightly. While it’s still warm, shape it into small, bite-sized balls or flat discs.
6. Storage: Store the desi panjeeri in an airtight container once it has completely cooled. It can be kept at room temperature for an extended period.

Desi Panjeeri is often consumed during winters or as a postpartum snack due to its energy-boosting properties. It’s not only a delicious treat but also a nutritious addition to the diet, offering a combination of carbohydrates, healthy fats, and proteins.
