Notes
1. Roast all the ingredients on low-medium heat to avoid burning.
2. Use homemade dhaniya powder as the market bought is very fine and not gives a good taste.
3. For making dhaniya powder at home, dry roast coriander seeds for 4-5 minutes and then grind them coarsely in a grinder. Homemade dhania powder has a unique fresh aroma that enhances the taste.
4. Add jaggery powder to the dhania mixture only when it cools down completely otherwise, jaggery will melt with heat and the taste of the panjiri is ruined. You can also increase or decrease the quantity. Other sugar alternatives like coconut sugar, mishri, brown sugar etc can also be added according to your convenience.
