Nuts Seeds Bar (Mixed Panjeeri)

Nuts seeds bar or Mixed Panjeeri is a wonderful way to stock up on your micro-nutrients and keep up the energy level. This recipe uses less oil and very less sugar. In 4.5 cups of mixed nuts and seeds, we have used only 4 spoon of ghee (clarified butter).

In addition, We have used just one cup of sugar to make these bars. This amount of sugar is helpful in binding all the ingredients together. Reduce the sugar further only if you are okay with a crumbly nuts seeds bar. This recipe is just sweetened, you may wish to add more sugar to your taste.

We have included Desiccated coconut (Khopra) and Edible Gum (Gond). In nuts, we have Fox nuts (Makhana), Almonds (Badaam), Cashews (Kaaju), Pistachios (Pista) and Walnuts (Akhrot). In seeds, we have Melon Seeds and Poppy Seeds or Khas Khas or Posat dana. You may use any variety of seeds that you like or even add a mix of it.

The edible gum needs to be fried so that it swells properly. All other nuts and seeds are roasted in the leftover ghee. So if you are omitting the edible gum, you may cut down the ghee/ oil to a great extent.

Keep the sequence of roasting in mind, it is based on the color. We have roasted seeds/ nuts with white color first, then mixed color (like pistachios and coconut and darkest color (almonds) at the last. If you roast almonds at the starting, it would leave its color in the oil and discolor the other nuts/ seeds.
