Panchakhadya is a tradtionally a Mahastrian Ganpathi prasad. Maharastrians make this using dried dates, rasins and nuts. Traditionally it is like the panchamirtham we make with five ingredients.In karnataka also they make a similar one like this with different ingredients. I have tasted this many times in my friend’s place, but never asked her for the recipe. This year i wanted to post this simple recipe for ganesh chaturthi and asked her for the recipe. I just made the way she told and it tasted nice too. Wishing all my readers a very Happy Ganesh Chaturthi. May this festival brings you all a lot of abundance and joy.

Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 2 Min |Makes: 1 cup
Chutney dal | Pottukadalai 1/2 cup
Dry coconut (kopra) 1/4 cup
Sugar 2-3 tblsp
Poppy seeds or sesame seeds 2 tblsp
Cardamom 2 pinches
Method:
- Keep all the ingredients ready. Poppy seeds or sesame seeds, whichever you use it should be dry roasted till golden brown. I had some powdered sugar so i used that. Here poppy seeds are banned so we don’t get it here.
- Grind everything in a mixer into a powder. It can be slightly grainy like sugar granules.
- Panchakhadaya is ready .
- You can keep this for neivedyam as it is or stuff inside sweet somas or stuff for fried modak recipe too.
Thanks a lot….. possibly a small twist to make it more healthy would be to use powdered country jaggery instead of powdered white sugar.

Ok thank you. Your can use nattu sakkarai or powdered jaggery to this. In that case do not grind the jaggery in the mixie
