Pinni

Pinni is a cherished dessert from Punjab and North India, especially savored during the winter months. This indulgent treat is made from wholesome ingredients such as desi ghee, wheat flour, jaggery, almonds, and occasionally raisins. A popular variation is Urad Dal Pinni, which features urad dal as the main component.

In essence, Pinni refers to any round-shaped sweet delicacy. To enhance the flavor, many people incorporate khoya into the mix. Locally known as "pindi" this traditional sweet boasts a long shelf life and does not require refrigeration, making it a convenient treat to keep on hand.

Pinnis are often garnished with crushed cardamom, which enriches their already complex flavor. They are best enjoyed warm, accompanied by a cup of tea or warm milk.
