Dhaniya Panjiri is a popular dish made for special occasions or fasting days. It includes nutritious ingredients. Coriander, often called a superfood, helps you feel full and gives you energy, making it a good choice for fasting. It is high in fiber, which can support weight loss. This dish suits people of all ages.

Nutritionist Harpreet Kaur, Cloudnine Group of Hospitals, Panchkula, shares the main ingredients and their benefits:

1. Coriander seeds: The main ingredient has antibacterial properties and is rich in nutrients like fiber, magnesium, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants. It can support digestion and help with urinary infections. It also supports the immune system and helps regulate blood sugar.
2. Ghee is a healthy fat that helps detoxify the body. It contains vitamins A and D, as well as calcium and potassium. Ghee can lower bad cholesterol and aid digestion.
3. Lotus seeds: These seeds are good for your heart and high in protein and healthy fats. They help keep you full longer, which can support weight management.
4. Almonds and cashew nuts: Almonds are rich in vitamin E and protein. They help boost metabolism and support brain health. Cashews are rich in minerals that are essential for children's growth.
5. Poppy seeds: These seeds are good for you because they contain iron, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids. They help your brain work better and support skin and bone health.
6. Dried coconut: This ingredient is high in vitamins and minerals. It has antioxidant properties that may help with weight loss.
