The first winter winds have caught up with us and so have winter snacks such as pinni, panjiri, saag, etc. The majority of health gurus consider panjiri as one of the most unhealthy winter treats, despite it being one of the most popular. Undoubtedly, it contains many calories and fats, but it is a highly nutritional snack made from wheat flour, dry fruits and gond (gum crystals). Keeping that in mind, we went ahead and created a healthier gluten-free panjiri recipe for you that you can have guilt free.
Gluten Free Panjiri Recipe
Firstly roast the oats on a low flame and grind them into a powder using a high speed grinder.
In like manner, grind the pre soaked nuts and seeds to a fine powder and keep them aside for further use.
After that take a small pan, add half the ghee and roast the makhanas till they get golden brown in color. Make sure to not over do it.
Powder it once it cools down in the same grinder and then keep it aside to use later.
Now in the same pan add the remaining ghee, oats powder and sattu flour and start cooking on a medium flame.
Stir it well until a mild aroma is released and the mixture turns golden brown in color. This should not take more than 5 minutes.
Then, add the nuts and seeds powder, ginger powder, gond crystals, cardamom powder, roasted makhanas, sesame seeds powder, flax seeds powder, and methi powder to the pan.
Stir and combine all of them well on a low flame for another 3 to 4 minutes.
Let it cool down a bit and then turn off the gas.
Add stevia to the fresh and hot panjiri and stir it a little to mix it well.
Your gluten free panjiri is ready. Store it in airtight containers once it cools down.
