Panjiri Recipe is a popular Punjabi sweet that people snack on during winters. 

Made with the goodness of ghee, here foxtails nuts, almonds, cashew, pistachios, gondh, dry coconut, melon seeds and flax seeds are individually fried in ghee. These individually fried ingredients are then pulsed in the mixer grinder to a coarse powder and then mixed along with yet another mixture of what flour and rava roasted in ghee. 

This Panjiri mixture is then sweetened with sugar and flavoured with dry ginger, nutmeg and cardamom powder.
