What is Panjiri?

Panjiri is a centuries-old roasted snack from the Indian subcontinent, traditionally made to nourish families through every stage of life. Unlike many traditional versions made with semolina or wheat flour, our family's recipe has always been made with roasted moong lentils, creating a naturally crunchy, gluten-free snack for modern everyday life.

Our Original Panjiri is slow-roasted in ghee with almonds, coconut, makhana, melon seeds, edible gum and cardamom, then lightly sweetened for a warm, nutty and satisfying crunch.

Enjoy it by the handful, sprinkled over yogurt or fruit, or as a crunchy topping wherever you'd normally reach for granola.

Panjiri has been part of family kitchens across the Indian subcontinent for generations. Every family has its own version, passed from one kitchen to the next and shaped by the people who make it. That's how traditions survive not because they stay exactly the same, but because people continue making them.

Our family's version has always been made with roasted moong lentils instead of semolina or wheat flour. It's the same recipe we still make today, slow-roasted in ghee and prepared in small batches here in California.

Some traditions are remembered.
The best ones are still made.
