Notes
You can add powdered white sugar too but cane sugar tastes best.
You can keep in room temperature for about 2-3 days and enjoy.
Though adding makhana is purely your choice, I would recommend adding it as it gives such a nice crunch and taste to this dish.
You can use white sugar or brown sugar too.
You can serve panjiri as such or with warm milk.
