Crafting the Nutty Symphony of Panjeeri: A Gastronomic Adventure
Roast Edible Gum: In a pan, heat a tablespoon of ghee and roast the edible gum until it puffs up. Set it aside. Once cooled down grind it in a grinder.
Roast Nuts and Seeds: In the same pan, roast chopped assorted nuts, melon seeds, and desiccated coconut until they release their aroma. Set them aside. Grind them as well once cooled.
Prepare Panjeeri Base: In a large pan, heat the remaining ghee. Add whole wheat flour and semolina. Roast them on low heat until they turn golden brown, giving off a nutty fragrance.
Combine Ingredients: Mix in the roasted edible gum, nuts, seeds, and cardamom powder. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
Sweeten with Jaggery or Sugar: Add grated or powdered jaggery/sugar to the mixture. Adjust sweetness according to your taste.
Blend Flavors: Stir the Panjeeri mixture continuously on low heat until everything blends together, and the ghee separates from the mixture.
Final Touch: Add chopped dried dates and mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cool and Serve: Allow the Panjeeri to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. Serve in small portions as a nutritious snack.
