For a few days now, a thought had been nagging me.'Promise breaker is a shoe maker'. Now what does this have to do with Mum's PINNI Recipe, you might ask. It has, it has for sure. Ill reveal in a little while....
Come Winters, every Punjabi household gears up for that very sweet winter speicality PINNI. Dadis, Nanis and proud Homemakers will make this in a jiffy. And me? Well, i am happy dividing my time between the kitchen and the PC :))). And since Mum is only too happy sending me home made food, i can afford to be lazy at times.
And yet, i did this Photo Recipe today, to keep a promise i had made to someone.
So without delay, lets get on with the Recipe.
Ingredients:
Regular Wheat Flour 1 Katori
Refined Oil 2 Table spoons
Desi ghee 3/4 katori
Ground Sugar 1 Katori
Coarsely cut almonds 1 Katori
Sliced Cashesnuts around 20
Crushed Cardamom seeds
Procedure:
Heat Oil in a kadai.
Add the flour and keep stirring till it starts to change color.
Now add powdered sugar and cut almonds,.
Keep stirring for a minute till the ingredients have blended well.
When almost done, add crushed cadamom seeds for flavor.
Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes or till it wont burn your fingers. It'll become slightly hard as it cools, just convenient to roll into Pinnis.
With the mixture still warm and soft, take small piecce and roll in your hands to a perfect PINNI.
Decorate each PINNI with a sliced almond.
Mum's PINNI is ready!
Thank you Mum for sharing this with me.
Your sending these especially for Surbhi inspired me to learn the Recipe myself.
