How to make Panchamrutha | How to prepare chanadal-moongdal-puffed paddy mixed panchakajjaya

Panchamrith  is a sweet concoction used in hindu worship and in the prayer rituals known as pujas.  The name comes from the Sanskrit Pancha, meaning five and amrit meaning "immortal" or "nector of gods".  Traditional recipes of panchamrit consist of five ingredients namely  raw milk, curd (yogurt), honey, sugar and ghee (clarified butter). Typically panchamrit is offered to the deity or deities and is consumed at the end of worship or after puja.
Panchamrit may also be known as charnamrit (nectar from the feet of the gods), although the latter term also refers to the water used to bathe deities that is collected in basins at their feet.                Here goes the recipe of panchamrit:
INGREDIENTS:
1. Pure ghee - 1 tbsp
2. Honey - 2 tbsp
3. Sugar/Liquid jaggery - 4tbsp
4. Curd/yoghrt - 8 tbsp
5. Raw cow milk/packet milk - 16 tbsp
6. Tulsi dal -1
PROCEDURE: In a clean bowl add pure ghee 1tbsp.  To it add 2 tbsp honey.  Add 4 tbsp sugar.  Add 8 tbsp curd/yoghurt.  Finally add 16 tbsp milk and give a good mix.  Offer it to deity lord Ganesh, Lord Krishna, Lord Eshwar, Durga, Sathyanarayana puja  or any diety as prasadam! Add a Tulsi leaf and offer it to any deity.

How to prepare Chanadal,Moongdal, and puffed paddy mixed panchakajjaya

Moong in hindi is  greengram in english and Moogu in konkani and Hesaru kalu in kannada.  We use it in daily life to prepare a lot of dishes and also chana dal in hindi is Bengalgram dal in english and kadle bele in kannada and Chanedali in konkani.  It is also immensely used in various dishes.  Puffed paddy is a bi product of paddy and is available during the festive season and also available in the other months even though little scarce.  I am combining the three of them to prepare Panchkajjaya in a certain proportion and in addition to that i add coconut, jaggery, sesame seeds, cardamom and a little pure ghee and offer it as prasadam to devi durga or any deity.  Tomorrow being Dussera i am putting it up here on my channel.  Here it goes:
INGREDIENTS:
1. Chanedal - 1/3 cup
2. Moong dal - 1/4 cup
3. Puffed paddy - 1 cup
4. Sesame seeds - 1 tbsp
5. Jaggery - 2/3 cup
6. Pure ghee - 2 tsp
PROCEDURE:     place a wide pan and roast chanadal in it till aromatic and colour changes.  Transfer it to another bowl to cool down.  To the same pan add Moong dal and dry roast till aromatic and colour changes  to little brown.  Transfer it to another bowl to cool down.  Dry roast puffed paddy till aromatic and till it crimples.  Transfer it to another plate as well.  Dry roast sesame seeds till it crackles.  Powder chanadal and cardamom in the mixie to medium fine.  Keep it aside.  Grind Moongdal and puffed paddy as well to medium fine in mixie and  Keep it aside.  In a pan add chopped jaggery  2/3 cup and a little water and keep it on low flame and bring it to boil so that jaggery dissolves in water. On cooling  ,transfer the mixture to a bowl.  Add powdered chanadal-cardamom mix, moong dal and puffed paddy mix and mix well till juicy.  Add roasted sesame seeds and give a gentle mix.  Finally add 1 tbsp pure ghee and offer it as prasad to to goddess or to any deity.
