Ingredients

Atta Panjiri Recipe

  • 1 cup Wheat flour
  • ½ cup Sugar Powdered
  • ¼ cup Ghee plus more if needed
  • ¼ cup Char magaz Mixed melon seeds
  • ¼ cup Phool makhana Puffed lotus seeds
  • ¼ cup Gond Edible gum
  • 2 tablespoon Almonds sliced
  • 2 tablespoon Cashews sliced
  • 2 tablespoon Raisin
  • 1 Cardamom powdered
  • 1 teaspoon Dry ginger powder sonth / Sukku

Dhaniya Panjiri Ingredients

  • ½ cup Coriander seeds
  • ¼ cup Sugar powder
  • ½ cup Phool Makhana
  • 2 tablespoon Kopra
  • ¼ cup Ghee
  • 14 Badam
  • 10 Cashews
  • 10 Raisin
  • 2 teaspoon Melon seeds or Chironji

Instructions

Atta Panjiri

  • Take a pan and heat 1 tablespoon ghee firstly. Roast cashews until golden in low flame. Drain and set aside.
  • Secondly, in the same ghee roast almonds until golden and set aside. Repeat the same with raisins. (I used sultanas which I had in hand)
  • Then add gond to the ghee. Roast in low flame until it puffs up nicely.
  • It should puff outside as well as from inside, so make sure to roast well in low flame. Add more ghee if needed for even roasting.
  • After that, powder it coarsely once cooled, by pulsing just 2 times and set aside.
  • Then add 1-2 teaspoon of ghee and roast char magaz in low heat. It will pop a lot, so do carefully. No need to roast much, just when it starts to pop, transfer to keep aside.
  • After that, add a teaspoon of ghee and roast phool makhana. I cut it into two. It should turn crisp (will absorb all ghee)
  • Finally, add two tablespoons of ghee and roast wheat flour.
  • Keep roasting furthermore until you get nice aroma and colour changes. Keep stirring to avoid burnt flour. It quickly turns black if you leave unattended.
  • Once done, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
  • Then add powdered sugar, all roasted ingredients, cardamom powder and sonth (dry ginger).
  • Lastly, mix well and atta panjiri is ready!

Dhaniya Panjiri

  • First roast coriander seeds in a teaspoon of Ghee in medium heat.
  • Once aromatic and crisp, remove in a plate for cooling.
  • After that, place in a mixer.
  • Powder it. Need not to be too fine or too coarse, just a sand like texture.
  • Then again in 2 teaspoon of ghee, roast phool makhana.
  • Roast patiently until it is crisp and starts to get golden spots. Remove in a plate and set a side.
  • Then heat 1 tablespoon of ghee and roast the nuts and raisins. I added the char magaz together. It pops a lot, so you can consider adding it at the end.
  • Once nuts are crispy and golden, add coconut (Kopra) to it.
  • Roast until all turns golden.
  • Then, add phool makhana (crush roughly or cut into smaller pieces) and the dhaniya powder.
  • After that, give it a mix quickly in the heat itself.
  • Then transfer to a mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar.
  • Mix thoroughly, add more ghee if it is too dry/ pale.
  • Simple panjiri recipe for Janmashtami ready!

Notes

  • Take care not to burn anything in high flame. Do the roasting in medium heat with constant stirring.
