Take a small pan and bring it to a heat on a low to medium flame.
Step 2
:
Add 3/4 cup ghee and heat.
Step 3
:
Add the edible gum to it and gently sauté till the crystals start to puff.
Step 4
:
Transfer to a plate and let it cool. Then grind it into powder.
Pinni dough:
Step 1
:
Take a large heavy-bottomed pan and place it over a medium flame. Pour the remaining ghee into it.
Step 2
:
Once the ghee melts, add wheat flour and mix.
Step 3
:
Sauté and continue to mix till the colour of the mixture turns golden brown. Over time, the wheat dough will hold shape, and the ghee will start to separate.
Step 4
:
Mix it well again and move it to a plate. Set it aside to cool.
Step 5
:
Use a mixer or a hand blender to powder the sugar and set it aside.
Step 6
:
Chop all the dry fruits into small pieces and set aside.
Step 7
:
When the dough becomes warm enough to hold, sprinkle the cardamom powder and ginger powder. Mix and let them blend in.
Step 8
:
Add the prepared edible gum to the dough and mix again.
Step 9
:
Lastly, toss in the powdered sugar and chopped dry fruits. Combine it well into the dough.
Creating the shape:
Step 1
:
Take a scoop of the dough and press it between your fingers and palm, creating a long oval-like shape (pinni). Smooth the shape out and arrange it on a large plate or tray.
Step 2
:
Repeat for the rest of the dough. You can serve it immediately or you can let it rest and serve it later.
