Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup desi ghee (clarified butter)
  • 1 cup powdered jaggery
  • 1 cup finely chopped mixed nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews)
  • 1/2 cup edible gum (gond)
  • 1/4 cup semolina (sooji)
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • A pinch of nutmeg powder
  • 1/4 cup melon seeds
  • 1/4 cup desiccated coconut (optional)

Method:

  1. In a pan, roast edible gum (gond) until it puffs up. Allow it to cool and then crush it into small pieces.
  2. In a separate pan, dry roast semolina (sooji) until it becomes golden brown and fragrant. Set aside.
  3. Heat desi ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add whole wheat flour and roast it on low heat until it turns golden brown and gives a nutty aroma.
  4. Add crushed edible gum, roasted semolina, and mixed nuts to the flour. Mix well and continue to roast for a few more minutes.
  5. Incorporate powdered jaggery, cardamom powder, nutmeg powder, melon seeds, and desiccated coconut (if using). Mix thoroughly until the jaggery melts and blends with the other ingredients.
  6. Cook the mixture until it forms a thick, sticky consistency. Ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.
  7. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. While it is still warm, shape the mixture into small, round ladoos (balls) using greased hands.
  8. Allow the Pinnis to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
