Karah Prashad | How to make Gurudwara Karah Prashad

For the final day of making Temple Prasahads, I selected to make Gurdwara's Karah Prashad. Its a halwa made with equal measures of wheat flour, sugar and ghee. This almost resembles the Godumai Halwa of Tamil Nadu. However the process and the procedure followed differs. Plus the final texture is quite different.

I read on the prashad and though I am yet to read much on Sikhism and their spiritual learning, as yet, it was interesting to read on when and how this Prashad is made.  This recipe is inspired by this post. This post elaborates the process in cooking this Prashad and how one has to observe while making this Prasha. 

Prashad is prepared for gurdwara services in the langar facility by sevadar volunteers who follow a specific protocol outlined in the Sikhism code of conduct. The Langar guidelines are laid down for the followers to observe the rules even while making this Prashad.

While I have read about other religions and tried understanding their teaching, I seem to have somehow not gone through Sikhism and I felt I should read further on the spiritual teachings. On the whole, making this at home was enlightening in many ways.One I made it at 11 at night, with the whole world trying to sleep, while I was left with a boiling pan, with a halwa simmering and trying to teach you things you ought to learn, even at that late hours. I tried recollecting what they said I should recite, I couldn't remember all of it. However I hope His blessings are showered on this pudding and on all those who partook this.

 

I would to say that this recipe is adapted from what I have read online. It was so delicious that I wished I had the opportunity to taste the real Prashad.
