Dhaniya Panjiri is a popular sweet dish which is served as a prasad and is even relished during fasts or Vrat. In India, we love to celebrate festivals and occasions with joy and vigour. Janmashtami is one such festival when we celebrate the birthday of Lord Krishna and serve various delicacies to him in his honour. Dhaniya Panjiri is also served to the Lord on Janmashtami. Prepared using ghee, dhaniya powder, dry fruits, coconut and powdered sugar, this dish makes the festivities more divine and spiritual. These days, Dhaniya Panjiri is also available ready made in most of the supermarkets. However, since my childhood, I have always seen my mom preparing it at home will all divinity and joy. Having fond memories of celebrating festivals with my mother, I make sure to make Dhaniya Panjiri at home, every year along with Panchamrit for Janamashtami! By doing so, I feel satisfied that the naivedhyum of this Panjiri is pure and is suitable to be served as a prasad.
