Kadha prasad is a sweet, sacred offering served in Gurudwaras, made from wheat flour, ghee, sugar, and water. Its rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture makes it a beloved treat. Here’s how you can make it perfectly at home:
Ingredients
Whole wheat flour (atta): 1 cup
Ghee (clarified butter): ¾ cup
Sugar: 1 cup (adjust to taste)
Water: 1 ½ cups
Cardamom powder: ½ tsp (optional, for aroma)
Step 1: Roast the Flour
Heat a thick-bottomed pan or kadhai.
Add the wheat flour and roast on low-medium heat.
Stir continuously until the flour turns golden brown and aromatic. This is crucial for authentic taste.
Step 2: Add Ghee
Gradually pour ghee into the roasted flour while stirring constantly.
Keep stirring until the mixture absorbs the ghee completely and becomes smooth.
Step 3: Prepare sugar Syrup
In a separate pan, boil water and sugar until fully dissolved.
Optional: Add cardamom powder for flavor.
Step 4: Combine Flour-Ghee Mix With sugar Syrup
Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the flour-ghee mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook for 5–7 minutes on low heat until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
Step 5: Set and Serve
Transfer the Kadha prasad into a greased plate or bowl.
Let it cool slightly—it should have a soft, pudding-like consistency.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a devotional offering or dessert.
✅ Tips for Perfect Gurudwara-Style Kadha Prasad
Use fresh, pure ghee for authentic flavor.
Stir constantly while roasting flour to prevent burning.
Adjust sugar to your taste, but traditionally it’s sweet and rich.
Serve immediately for the softest texture, or reheat slightly before serving if it hardens.
