Poha Panchakajjaya (With Sugarcane)

This time, there is a slight variation. Last time I did not add Sugarcane, but now I have. As it is for Naivedya (Offering to God) this time, I refrained from adding Cardamom powder as my mother said it is not to be added in Naivedya. So here is the second attempt of the same recipe again with slight changes.

List of ingredients.

 

INGREDIENTS :

 

(1) Poha / Pressed rice – 1 cup

(2) Phula hua dhan / Puffed paddy – 1 cup 

(3) Freshly Grated Coconut – 3/4 cup

(4) Jaggery/Gud – 75 gms – half cup

(5) Black Sesame Seeds / Til – 1 teaspoon

(6) Cardamom / Elaichi powder – half teaspoon (Optional, I did not add this as it is a practice in my house not to add this while making as naivedya)

(7) Ghee – 1 teaspoon

(8) Sugar cane pieces (Optional) – Handful

 

Here is the pictures of the ingredients used.

METHOD :

(1) Clean and sieve beaten rice well so that any powder or dust is removed.

(2) Clean and roast black sesame seed till you get a nice aroma.

(3) Grate coconut and Jaggery. 

(4) Take a deep vessel, add grated Coconut, Jaggery, and mix well until soft mixture is formed.

(5) Add poha/beaten rice and Phula hua dhan / Puffed Paddy and mix well till they are well mixed with Jaggery and coconut.

(6) Add Black Sesame seeds and mix well again.

(7) Add sugar cane pieces and mix again.

(9) Add a spoonful of Ghee (Clarified butter) and mix well.

The Poha Panchakajjaya is ready!
