Punjabi Pinni

🇮🇳 Indian

Pinni, the ghee-ball winter soldier of Punjab. The taste of every good news day in an Indian household. Serve at room temperature, cut small — sweetness needs no size.

Prep 30 min Cook 49 min Serves 5 Hard

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Sugarto taste
  • Wheat Flour3 cups
  • Almonds1/4 cup, blanched and slivered
  • Jaggery3/4 cup, grated
  • Green Cardamom4, ground

Instructions

  1. 1

    Measure everything before lighting the flame; there is no pause button mid-cook.

  2. 2

    Combine the wheat flour with the jaggery in a heavy-bottomed pan and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.

  4. 4

    Add the ghee, cardamom and any nuts or saffron; fold through and cook two minutes more.

  5. 5

    Spread or shape while warm, garnish with the reserved nuts, cool completely, then cut or serve as it sets.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
