Beni is traditionally made from whole wheat flour, ghee, dry fruits, powdered sugar (or bora) and gond (edible gum). Once you gather these ingredients, follow these tips for the recipe.

1. Ghee is needed to make penne and bind them together. So feel free to put a lot of ghee in the penne mixture.

2. When frying, be sure to let it cook properly. Wait until it swells and turns golden before turning off the gas.

3. Take care to fry the dry fruits and fruits on a low heat so as not to burn and spoil the flavor of the penne.

4. While frying the wheat flour with ghee, wait patiently until the flour releases its aroma and turns completely brown. Another way to tell if it’s done is to wait for the flour to come out of the butter on the sides.

5. Always wait for the flour to cool before mixing in the sugar or ground. Otherwise, the mixture will melt and you won’t be able to bind it to make ladoos.

6. If you want to make your penne more healthy, you can replace the sugar with powdered and melted jaggery as well.

7. If you are struggling to keep the mix and dry fruits together, you can grind the dry fruits into a coarse batter before frying them.
