SATVIK DHANIYA PANJIRI CAKE: JANMASHTAMI SPECIAL
20 mins prepServes 8
A grain-free and eggless cake, inspired by traditional Dhaniya Panjiri, featuring the beautiful flavors of roasted coriander, saffron, cardamom, makhana, and pistachios. Perfect for Janmashtami celebrations.
To make the panjiri topping: roast the makhana, pistachios, almonds, and coconut in 1 tsp ghee until lightly toasted, then crush slightly.
For the cake: Whisk together yogurt and icing sugar in a large bowl. Add melted ghee and saffron milk, mixing well. Gently fold in the dry ingredients (almond flour, roasted coriander powder, desiccated coconut, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda) until just combined. Pour the batter into a lined 6-inch baking tin. Sprinkle the prepared panjiri topping evenly over the cake batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C/340°F for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
