Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Panjiri

  • For extra flavor, toast the nuts and seeds individually in small batches for better control and even toasting.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. You can also substitute with honey or maple syrup for a healthier alternative.
  • The quality of ghee significantly impacts the flavor. Use good quality ghee for the best taste and aroma.
  • If making Panjiri for postpartum recovery, consult your doctor or healthcare professional to ensure it aligns with your specific needs and any dietary restrictions.
