Festivals bring such joy and happiness in the house. I made this Panjiri today to celebrate Janmashtami. Panjiri is a delicious sweet dish loaded with goodness of roasted nuts. The aroma itself is so captivating!
Check out this quick video to make Panjiri at home.
Panjiri is a sweet dish from state of Punjab, India which is made during winters as it is loaded with fruits and edible gum. It is also made for pregnant women and new mothers during Krishna Jayanthi. Nuts are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. I have used brown sugar but you can also use white sugar in place of it. So, check out the detailed recipe and try it out at home.

Never tried panjiri. I love all of the ingredients, so I’m pretty sure I’d love it! Great video…thanks for the recipe!
I’m glad you like it ????
This looks like such a delicious way to enjoy nuts. Perfect for a celebration!
Thank you ????
This recipe has a lot of my favorite flavors (although I’ll admit that I’m not familiar with edible gum)! I’m curious as to if you eat it as is, or if you use it on other things? We’ve just really gotten into Indian food, but I’ve not heard of this before ????
We usually use edible gum for sweets and it has to be roasted and puffed up.
Almonds, pistachios and cardamom! Literally everything I live for is in this recipe! YUM!!
Do try it. It’s yummy indeed ????
