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.
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.
For auspicious occasions, you can also make kheer and offer it to God or Guru. Here is a collection of kheer recipes
1.Always chant your prayers while making karah prasad. This step makes it different from atta ka halwa. Heat 1 and 1/2 cup water.
2. Add 1/2 cup sugar.
3. Let the sugar dissolve.
4. Simmer till the mixture comes to a boil. Keep aside till further use.
5. Heat ghee. Just keep aside 1-2 tsp ghee and out of 1/2 cup and heat the remaining.
6. Let the ghee melt.
7. Add 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
8. Cook it on low flame, stirring continuously.
9. Cook it for 5-6 minutes.
10. It will start to change its color.
11. Cook till the ghee separates.
12. And the flour turns dark brown.
13. Add the water-sugar mixture.
14. Since we had mixed and boiled the sugar and water it doesn’t bubble a lot. If you add water at this stage followed by sugar, the entire mixture will bubble a lot.
15. Cook it on low flame, stirring continuously.
16. Cook for 5-6 minutes.
17. The halwa is cooked when it leaves the sides of the pan.
18. It should come together as a lump.
19. And the ghee separates.
20. Add the 1-2 tsp ghee we had kept aside earlier.
21. Bon appétit: Prepare it on any auspicious occasion and never miss to make it on Guru Nanak Jayanti. Likewise, even sooji ka halwa can be prepared.
