Notes

Yield – 2½ C (350 gm) approximately

It is important to roast the flour on low heat. The flour needs to be thoroughly cooked else it will taste raw and pasty. It takes long to roast the flour till it attains a deeper shade and aroma so stay patient while roasting it.
You can grind the ingredients to the desired consistency i.e. fine or coarse depending on whether you like your Panjiri to have texture or you like it smooth. However if you need to give it to kids, a finer consistency is desirable.
If you are serving the panjiri in summers, do not use edible gum since it has warm properties and generates heat in the body.
The amount of ghee will vary since lesser amount A2 ghee suffices in most cases in comparison to the regular one. So you may have to increase the amount to half a cup in case your ghee is not A2.
Do not skimp on ghee else the panjiri will be dry; unless you prefer that texture.
I also lightly toasted the fennel seeds to add a depth in flavour. It is optional but I recommend it.
Adjust the amount of aromatics to suit your taste. Also, you can increase or decrease the amount of nuts and seeds to suit your taste.
