Aate ki Pinni

Deliciously yummy Aate ki pinni is a traditional Punjabi sweet made with whole wheat flour, semolina, and dry nuts. This is undoubtedly the most popular must-have winter delicacy!!

Ingredients:-

• 2 cups Wheat Flour (Atta)
• 2 tablespoons Fine Sooji
• ¼ cup Shredded Coconut
• 1 cup Superfine Sugar (or powdered Jaggery)
• 1 cup Melted ghee
• ¼ cup Chopped almonds & pistachios
• ¼ cup Yellow Raisins (Khismish)
• ¾ teaspoon Cardamon Powder (Eliachi Powder)

Instructions:-

• Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add wheat flour and semolina.
• Mix to combine. Cook the flour-sooji mixture on a medium-low flame.
• Cook for 6-8 minutes on a medium-low flame, stirring occasionally. At this point, please do not leave the mixture unattended, as it will burn.
• As the color of the flour starts to darken, add shredded coconut. Mix to combine. Coconut adds a nutty flavor to the recipe.
• By this time, the mixture will be light brown in color. If you prefer your pinnies to be of a lighter color, then take them off the flame.
• Add the chopped nuts, raisins, and eliachi powder.
• Take the mixture off the flame. Stir in sugar and mix until well incorporated. After dry nuts and sugar are added, the mixture will come together like a ball of dough.
• Pour in 1 teaspoon of milk and mix.
• Allow the mixture to cool. When comfortable enough to touch, take some mixture in your hand. Make a tight fist and squeeze the mixture in between your fingers.
• Shape it like a round ball. Repeat the process with the rest of the mixture and form the pennies
