Coconut Panjiri



We all have lots of childhood memories and when it comes to food surely everyone has their favourite food cooked by mom. I have my list of favourite too not just childhood but now also, so whenever get the chance simply relish "Mom's Specialty".

Coconut panjiri !! 

I remember mom always use to make it during the fasting time as it is quite healthy and full of dry fruits.




Ingredients 

Dry Coconut- 1( Grated)
Almond-10-15 
Cashew nut-10-15
Raisin- handful
Makhana(Fox nut)- 1 cup
Sugar-  1/2 cup or less
Water -1 cup
Cardamom(Elaichi)-5





Just captured all the ingredients for this recipe .

1. Dry roast Almond, Cashew nut and makhana , let them cool for a while and later crush them . You can add the dry fruits without crushing also.



2. Boil water ,sugar and cardamom for 2-3 minutes and no need to make the syrup thick , just let it boil for sometime.

3 . Dry roast coconut for 5 minutes on low flame and then add the dry fruits to it .


4. Now add the sugar syrup and mix it well with the dry mixture.


5. Cook for 5-7 minutes so that syrup is well absorbed by the dry ingredients. At this point if you find it dry you can add 1-2 spoon of desi ghee(optional)

6. Cool the mixture and store it at room temperature.
