Gluten-free Lotus seeds Panjiri, Janmashtami Special by Tulita aahar

It is a North Indian Sweet delicacy made from whole-wheat flour fried in sugar and ghee, heavily laced with dried fruits and herbal gums. It is eaten by women after giving birth as a nutritional supplement, to promote healing and lactation, or eaten in general in the winters to ward off cold. Its usage is culturally and traditionally meaningful. Here, our Chef has attempted to make something gluten-free so that people with dietary restrictions can also enjoy this delicacy. Hope you enjoy the recipe.
