Dhaniya ki Panjiri

 

Dhaniya ki panjiri is offered to Sri krishna on the occasion of Janmashtami as prasad. An aromatic and delicious sweet is this and here is a simple recipe.

 This wholesome and nutritious dish is loaded with ghee and nuts and is great to make otherwise also. The process to make Dhaniya ki Panjiri is almost the same as making the regular Panjiri and it is served with Panchamrit after the pooja.

There are various recipes out there that use coriander powder to make panjiri, but my mother used to grind coriander seeds and then she roasted it in ghee. The texture used to be not very fine and taste--divine!

 

Ingredients:

1. Coriander seeds-1/4 cup (Grind in grinder)
2. Powdered sugar-3 tbsp.
3. Desiccated coconut- 2tsp.
4. Fox nuts-4-5
5. Cashews-4
6. Almonds-3
7. Green cardamom powder-1 tsp.
8. Desi ghee-2 tbsp.
9. Rose petals-3-4

Procedure:

• Heat 1 tsp. ghee and roast nuts on slow flame separetely. Keep aside.
• Now add rest of the ghee and roast coriander powder till a nice aroma is coming out.  
• Turn off the flame.
• Chop the nuts and mix everything when it is cold.
• Garnish.
