Easy Dhaniya Panjiri Recipe for Janmashtami Prasad

Dhaniya panjiri is a traditional Janmashtami preparation made with roasted coriander seeds, ghee, nuts and a sweetener. Its crumbly texture and gentle spice aroma make it a festive option for offering as bhog and sharing after puja.

For a small batch, start with half a cup of sabut dhania. Keep makhana, almonds, cashews, melon seeds, dry coconut and a little cardamom ready. Dry-roast the coriander on low to medium-low heat until fragrant. Roast the remaining ingredients separately in ghee, giving coconut only a gentle roast.

Allow everything to cool before grinding it coarsely. Combine with powdered jaggery or boora and adjust the sweetness to your preference. Avoid overgrinding the nuts, as they can turn oily and make the panjiri pasty.

Transfer the finished mixture to a clean, dry, airtight container. If preparing it for a fast, choose ingredients permitted in your household.
