What is Karah Prashad?

Karah Prashad is a halwa made using whole wheat flour, lots of ghee and sugar. Karah Prashad is given to the visitors at Gurudwaras. It has never happened that I have had something at a religious place and it has not tasted divine. No one judges the taste of Prashad ever… but its simplicity and divinity is something that is remembered by everyone.

Let’s talk about the ingredients for Karah Prashad Recipe

I have used regular whole wheat flour. However coarse wheat flour will give better results. No other flavors are added in it nor are any nuts added. This recipe gives the consistency of the karah prashad. However, if you like it thicker you can keep the water ratio to 2 instead of 3 as in for this particular recipe add 1 cup water instead of 1 and 1/2 cup.
Please be patient… cook the flour on a low flame till it turns dark brown. Cook with a pure heart and mind… chant prayers while cooking it. You will not only get the divine halwa but also some peace of mind.
