Panjiri, a traditional North Indian sweet dish, is a staple during festivals and special occasions. It is made from a mixture of roasted flour, ghee, nuts and dried fruits. This sweet treat is not only delicious but also holds cultural significance. Now, a video showcasing the panjiri-making process in Punjab has gone viral. The footage captures a couple making Panjiri in bulk at home. The clip starts with the man adding a container of desi ghee to a heavy-bottom pan. He then individually fries the ingredients like almonds, cashews, coconut and fox nuts until they are golden brown and crisp. The next step is to fry the multi-grain flour in the ghee, which is then set aside to cool.
