Ennari

Ennari is a traditional sweet delicacy originating from the Indian subcontinent, particularly popular in regions like Gujarat. It is typically made from gram flour, sugar, ghee, and often flavored with cardamom and garnished with nuts such as almonds and pistachios. The preparation involves roasting the gram flour in ghee until it releases a pleasant aroma and achieves a golden hue. Sugar is then added, along with water, to create a syrup. This mixture is cooked until it thickens and begins to leave the sides of the pan. The resulting dough-like consistency is then shaped into small balls or squares. Ennari is known for its rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture and sweet, nutty flavor. It is often prepared during festivals and special occasions as a celebratory sweet. The exact proportions of ingredients and preparation methods can vary from family to family, leading to subtle differences in taste and texture. Some variations may also incorporate other ingredients like semolina or edible gum. Ennari is a popular item in sweet shops and is enjoyed by people of all ages.
