what is kada prasad?

Kada Prasad or Aate ka halwa is a simple but divine sweet. We serve it in Gurudwaras/ Sikh temples post Ardas. Gurudwara ka karah prasad or karah parshad is a blessing in itself. It is distributed to all after ardas, signifying all humans were created equal. This prasad is a halva.It is a a simple wheat flour pudding.

What is Sikhism?

Sikhism originated during 15-17th century in Punjab region of Indian Subcontinent. It is based on teachings of Guru Nanak the first Guru. There are ten successive Gurus in Sikhism. After the tenth Guru, 'Guru Granth Sahib' the holy book, was given the 'Guruship' or made the Guru by the 10th Guru, Shri Guru Gobind Singh. Panch Takht or 5 main Gurudwaras in India are at Amritsar, Anandpur Sahib, Bathinda, Patna and Nanded.

My family has been going to Gurudwara and serving during langar all my life. I have been fortunate to visit Gurudwara in most cities I have visited and stayed. Just thinking about Golden temple kara prasad brings back so many memories to me.

How do we make kada parshad recipe?

We mix equal parts of wheat flour, sugar as well as clarified butter(ghee) cook with thrice the amount of water. Generally, people who prepare this guru prasad, also sing hymns of Guru Granth Sahib. They will cover their heads as mark of respect.

Later we cover it with a white cloth and then place it near Guru Granth Sahib. During Ardas, pathi will stir it with Kirpan. He will then distribute the prasad before langar or community lunch begins. This is a simple sweet yet the most flavorful as purity shows in. Gurudwara prasad is the sweet which is so pure you feel one with divine instantly.
