Pinni (Punjabi dessert — no documented spirit)

No mythological origin for a supernatural Pinni is recorded in the supplied sources. The only documented origin relates to the culinary item: Pinni is described as a Punjabi winter confection traditionally prepared from desi ghee, wheat flour, jaggery, almonds, and sometimes raisins or variations using urad dal or flaxseed.

Sources describe the edible Pinni as a dense sweet confection often covered with crushed cardamom and sometimes with visible nuts or raisins; it is a shelf-stable winter dessert rather than a described supernatural form. No physical appearance for a spirit named Pinni/Preta is recorded in the provided materials.

The supplied materials do not ascribe any powers, behaviors, or interactions with humans to an entity named Pinni or Preta. All descriptions in the sources concern the food item's ingredients, shelf-stability, and serving suggestions.
