Pinni is a quick sweet from Haryana which can be done with simple ingredients. This sweet is same as Besan ladoos. This wealthier state was also known as 'Haritanaka'. The name Haryana could mean "the Abode of God", derived from the Sanskrit words Hari (the Hindu God Vishnu) and ayana (home). Hindus constitute the great majority of Haryana’s population. Sikhs and Muslims each form a small but significant minority; there is also a tiny community of Christians. Most of the state’s Sikh population is located in the northeast and northwest, while Muslims are concentrated in the southeastern districts adjoining Delhi.
