Panjiri Laddoos
Ingredients:
4-5 cups ghee or butter (adjust accordingly, some people like dry)
(make sure butter is unsalted)
2 cups wheat flour (atta), roasted (make sure not to burn it)
1 cup besan, roasted (make sure not to burn it)
1/2 cup suji, roasted (make sure not to burn it)
2 cups almond powder, coarsely ground
1 cup walnut powder
1/4 cup ginger powder, optional (if you like)
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon freshly ground green cardamom power
1 tablespoon fennel powder (sonff powder), optional
4-5 cups sugar powder (adjust according to the degree of sweetness)
1 cup, mixture of slivered almonds, cashews, walnuts, and pecans
Note: Roast atta, besan, and sujji separately for better flavor. Roasting requires continuous stirring on medium to low heat so that it is evenly roasted.
Preparation:
In an open saucepan add ghee/butter.
Add all the ingredients as listed above except the sugar.
Keep stirring for about 3-4 minutes over low heat until the mixture gives nice aroma.
Add sugar and stir for about 2-3 minutes until it blends in well with the mixture.
(add more sugar if required)
Add mixture of slivered nuts and stir.
Allow it to cool and serve hot as such or make round balls (laddoos).
Store it in air tight container.
