Maharashtrians celebrate the Hindu New Year (Gudi Padwa) in the spring with the customary preparation of Puranachi Puri, a sweet treat. The core of puran is a delightful sweet filling made from Aashirvaad's 100% organic chana dal and jaggery, infused with the warm notes of cardamom and nutmeg. The crunchy yet soft puris encapsulate the gooey filling, while a touch of rose water gives richness and a delicate floral scent.
Hot Puranachi Puri, doused in ghee and enjoyed with celebratory thalis, is more than simply a meal; it is an integral part of the celebration. Ideal for Gudi Padwa festivities, Puranachi Puri encourages families to get together, share, and enjoy tradition.
