On my last visit to Shri Amritsar Saheb , I had the opportunity to have this unique parshad at a gurudwara Saheb known as Gurudwara Sheedan , which is built in the memory of Baba Deep Singh Ji(the great saint warrior ) who faught against the cruel mughal kings of his times. The uniqueness of this parshad is that instead of wheat flour the dalia(broken wheat, wheat porridge)is used which makes it really unique and tasty. On the occasion of Birth anniversary of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji I just want to share this recipe with you hope you like it .........
Ingredients:
- Dalia (Broken wheat, Wheat porridge) 1 cup
- Oil 2-3 spoons
- Sugar 1/2 cup or more(depends on how much sweet you like it to be)
- Green cardamoms 4-5
- Water about 3 cups
Method:
- Take the oil in a thick bottomed pan, and heat it
- Now add dalia (broken wheat) and green cardamoms, roast these properly on medium flame, tossing it regularly so that it doesn't burn
- Roast it till dalia changes its colour, and a pleasant, rich aroma starts filling your kitchen
- Now carefully add the water (beware of spluttering),and mix properly
- Let it cook on low flame and keep stirring at regular intervals
- Add sugar when dalia is almost cooked and mix it properly
- Let it cook till all the water is evaporated and dalia is cooked properly
- Karah prashad is ready to serve, garnished with green cardamoms.
