Panjiri Ladoo Recipe:

Panjiri is one dish which almost every Punjabi household  prepares and adores. It is specially  made in winters for everyone to eat. But, when a lady comes back home after delivery, this is prepared and distributed amongst friends and family as a token of celebration. Every household has its own recipe to prepare it. but I am sharing how it is done at my home. I have also tried and made a version of it which is very useful for toddlers and growing children.

Ingredients (For 250 grams of Ladoo): 

2 cups Wheat Flour

1/2 cup Besan or Chickpea flour to add taste and flavor

2 tbsp Semolina

2 tbsp Rolled Oats

4 tbsp Ghee

1/2 cup nuts powder (Crushed Almonds, Cashews, Pistachios)

4 tbsp Sugar

1 tsp Elaichi Powder

Method:

1. Take a heavy base kadai and heat the ghee in it. Add wheat flour, besan, semolina and oats one by one and roast till the mixture is of a light brown consistency. Add nuts powder, elaichi powder and keep roasting till it is of a good brown colour and smells good.
2. Add sugar and switch of the gas. The heat will melt the sugar a bit.

This panjiri is really tasty and filled with nutrition. Earlier people loaded it with ghee but I have used very optimum amount. People also add things like khus – Khus, Bhuna jeera, Alsi and other ayurvedic herbs to it for lactating mothers.

These ladoos can be taken while travelling and stay good for a day.
