Pinni / Punjabi Pinni – As the name suggests pinni is a dessert which is prepared in Punjabi houses. It is prepared during winter season . There are various kinds of pinni which are made like besan pinni, urud dal pinni and so on. This pinni is also called as Punjabi aate ki pinni as it is a Punjabi dish made with wheat flour.

Method of making pinni is very easy. This pinni makes use of very few ingredients namely, whole wheat flour, khoya (milk solid), sugar, ghee and nuts. You can also add jaggery while making pinni. In traditional pinni recipe, khoya is not added. But addition of khoya gives a nice flavour to the dessert.

The key to making soft mouthwatering pinni lies in two factors: one is liberal usage of ghee and the other is the roasting of wheat flour. Wheat flour should be roasted well in low flame until it becomes light brownish in color and starts leaving a nice aroma. If this step is left out, then you will not get the exact taste.
