Guru Nanak Jayanti 2023: How to make delicious Kadha Prasad at home
Kadha Prasad or Halwa prasad when they visit the gurdwara. This sweet blessing is made with plenty of ghee and is often mistaken to be made from semolina (Suji) due to its grainy texture. However, it is actually prepared from atta or whole wheat flour.
On the occasion of Gurpurab or Guru Nanak Jayanti, here are some helpful tips and secrets to help you make Kadha Prasad just like the one served in the gurdwara.
To begin, prepare the sugar syrup by boiling 1 cup of sugar in 2 cups of water. Sieve the flour and keep it in a separate bowl. Make sure to use pure desi ghee for this recipe.
While frying the flour in ghee, ensure that it becomes slightly sandy or coarse in texture. Avoid making the prasad too thin. Fry the flour until it turns dark brown.
It should remain raw before adding the sugar syrup.
Useful tips from Grandma that can assist you in making Kadha Prasad:
1. Use flour that has been ground in a mill. Coarse flour is preferred for making Prasad.
If you don't have mill-ground flour, finely ground flour will work as well.
2. Stir the flour well while adding it to the ghee and cook it properly.
To avoid common mistakes while making Kadha Prasad:
1. Do not make syrup from molasses made with water and sugar.
Simply dissolve the sugar in water.
2. Fry the flour on medium to low flame as it burns quickly.
3. When the color of the flour starts turning brown, reduce the flame to low, add the molasses, and keep stirring.
