Alsi Pinni

Alsi Pinni is a traditional Indian sweet made from flaxseeds (alsi), wheat flour, ghee, sugar, and cardamom. The flaxseeds are roasted and ground, then combined with the other ingredients to create a dough, which is shaped into round balls. These pinnis are often garnished with nuts like almonds or pistachios. Alsi Pinni is considered a healthy treat due to the nutritional benefits of flaxseeds, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. It is commonly prepared during winter months and festivals, offering a warm, nutty flavor and a nourishing, energy-boosting treat.
