pinmalli

Pinmalli is a traditional Indian sweet dish, primarily associated with the state of Karnataka in South India. It is a popular delicacy during festivals and special occasions. The dish consists of a mixture of finely ground roasted gram flour (besan), jaggery (unrefined sugar), and ghee (clarified butter). The ingredients are combined and kneaded into a smooth dough, which is then rolled into small, cylindrical shapes. These pinmallis are typically fried until golden brown and crispy. The exterior is soft and chewy, while the interior is sweet and slightly crunchy. Pinmalli is often garnished with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or dried fruits for added flavor and texture. It is a beloved treat that is enjoyed by people of all ages, making it a staple in many Indian households and celebrations.
