Panjiri

Panjiri is a traditional Punjabi postpartum food made from whole wheat flour roasted in ghee with nuts, seeds, dry fruits, and warming spices like dried ginger and carom seeds. It's a calorie-dense, nutrient-rich treat given to new mothers to support recovery, warmth, and energy. It's perfectly safe while breastfeeding and a delicious way to get extra calories and healthy fats.
