Paag/paak panjiri burfi is  generally made on the occasion of  Krishna Janamashtmi festival for prasad/bhog. I have prepared it on this festival for bhog.  It is very easy to make and at the same time very delicious.  Here below is its recipe in details: 
Ingredients
500 grams of peanuts/mungfalli
handful of sliced dry coconut/sukha gola
handful of sliced almonds
handful of peeled musk melon or melon seeds
1 tbsp of fennel seeds/soanf
small pinch of soda bicarb
1.5 cups of white color sugar
3/4 cup of water
1 tbsp of oil or ghee for greasing the the tray
Method
1. All main ingredients i.e peanuts, coconut, musk melon seeds, almond and fennel seeds were slightly less than 3 cups in  all. First dry roast the peanuts and then let it cool. Remove its red outer peel with hands. Just rub with hands, the peel will remove and the peanut will be in two parts.  It can be done too with the back of any steel bowl.
2.  Dry roast the musk melon seeds, sliced coconut, almonds and soanf  slightly not too much.
3.  Now take 1.5 cups of white sugar in a big  kadahi/pan with 3/4 cup of water.  Stir it constantly till sugar dissolves in water. 
4.  Now after melting sugar cook it till white bubbles seems / 1 thick string chashni. It can be seen in the collage too.  This step is very important which needs attention. Take a small drop of chashni in a bowl as it is very hot, so dip your finger and thumb in water and now check between thumb and finger. If it is of one string consistency it is ready.
5.  Next add a very small pinch of soda bicarb and stir.
6.  Immediately put all the roasted ingredients in the syrup and quickly stir and remove from heat.
7.  Now pour it into a greased thail/tray directly or greased aluminum foil/wax paper and spread it.
8.  Now when it comes it on room temperature, with a knife, mark the pieces shape in which you want to cut. 
9 Now after one or two hour cut into pieces.
10. Paag Panjiri burfi is ready for the Krishan ji bhog.
Tips
1.  Grease the thali /tray in the beginning.
2.  Take all the ingredients according to your availability. I had peanuts in large quantity, so I took it 500 grams. Equal quantity can be taken.
3.  While checking the string consistency, be careful as it may be too hot to burn. 
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!

Chole/chickpeas/garbanzo/kabuli chane is my all time favorite dish. I am very fond of it. It goes well roti, parantha, rice, poori, tandoori roti, missi roti, bhatoore, nan, kulche, tikki, samose, pulav, poha, chaats, mathri, idlis, pasta etc.etc. list is long. It is mouth watering dish.  It is always a main attraction in any party. Not taking too much time, I come to its recipe how we can prepare it. Here below it is:
Ingredients
500 grams (2 bowls) of kabuli chole
2 medium sized finely chopped onion
5-6 tbsp of tomato paste
1"piece of ginger
2 fresh chilies
pinch of asafetida
1 tsp of cumin seeds
pinch of ajvain seeds
salt to taste
1/2 tsp of red chili powder
1 tsp of roasted cumin power
1 tea bag
1.5 tbsp of chaat masala
1 tbsp of garam masala powder
2 tbsp of oil
Method
1.  Wash and soak the kabuli /white chole  overnight or minimum 5 hrs.
2.  Now Take these soaked chole  in pressure cooker with 8 bowls of water, 1 drop of oil, 1 tea bag and salt. Close the lid and keep it on the heat. When it comes on full pressure and 1st whistle comes, lower the heat to minimum and cook it for 25-to 30 minutes.  Not more than that, otherwise chole texture will be spoiled. After 30 minutes, remove from heat. Adding 1 drop of oil  to the chole while boiling, helps in cooking faster.
3.  Let it cool off completely. Now open the lid and remove the tea bag.
4.  Now heat the oil in frying pan. Add pinch of asafetida/heeng and cumin seeds.  And let it crackle till it change its color to light brown. After that add ajvain seeds.
5. Next add chaat masala, garam masala powder, red chili and roasted cumin powder. After few seconds add chopped onion and ginger.  Cook it for few minutes as we cook for any other sabzi .
Now Add tomato paste.  Cook it till oil droplets seems around it.  Chowk/baghar/tadka masala is ready.
6. Then add this tadka masala to the boiled chole and mix well.  Now again cook these chole with tadka again  till gets desired thickness.
7.  Spicy kabuli Chole is ready to serve.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!
