Kada prasad is a sweet, semolina-based dish offered in Sikh temples, symbolizing devotion and blessing. Making it at home is easier than you think!

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

· Whole wheat flour (atta) – 1 cup

· Ghee (clarified butter) – 1 cup

· Sugar – 1 cup

· Water – 4 cups

· Cardamom powder – ½ tsp

· Saffron strands (optional) – a few

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare sugar Syrup

1. Boil 4 cups of water in a saucepan.

2. Add sugar and stir until completely dissolved.

3. Keep the syrup warm on low heat.

Step 2: Roast the Flour

1. Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan.

2. Add whole wheat flour and roast on low heat, stirring continuously.

3. Roast until the flour turns golden brown and gives a nutty aroma (about 10–12 minutes).

Step 3: Combine with sugar Syrup

1. Slowly pour the warm sugar syrup into the roasted flour while stirring continuously.

2. Be careful—the mixture will splutter. Stir quickly to avoid lumps.

Step 4: Cook the Kada Prasad

1. Keep stirring on low flame until the mixture thickens and ghee separates from the sides.

2. Add cardamom powder and saffron strands (if using).

Step 5: Serve

· Transfer to a serving bowl.

Tips for Perfect Kada Prasad

· Roast the flour slowly—too high heat will burn it.

· Use fresh ghee for the best aroma.

· Stir constantly when adding sugar syrup to avoid lumps.
