Happy Muslim Mama: Picture of the Day 02.10.12 – Mum's Panjeeri

This is the special food my mum made for me this week this week to keep me strong in these challenging last weeks of pregnancy, through labour and during the recovery period afterwards.  It includes almonds, pistachio nuts, cashew nuts, raw sugar, ground ginger powder and various other ingredients.  I posted a recipe for this here along with some other foods that are used post pregnancy.  The recipe my mum used was slightly modified, but tasted really good.  I will get her to explain how she made it this time round and post the recipe and method. The tub below was the smaller of two containers and I will be having a little each morning.  The other much larger tub is for after the birth (so far I have been sneaking spoonfuls all day).
