While growing up in an Indian household everyone knows about "Satya Narayan Puja".This Puja is performed for God Vishnu on the Thithi of Poornima; that means on day of full moon night. In my house my Grand-Mom would get performed Satya-Narayan Katha. So sometime it was just the Katha and sometime Ramayan Path which would last for 24 hrs. continuously; then followed by the Katha and Aarti and then a grand feast with all kith and kins and friends. It was more of big celebration for all members of the family.Feast would've all kind of regional delicacies and menu was kind of keep changing every single time except the Prasad of the Puja: PANJIRI , HALWA AND PANCH AMRIT.
These three recipes symbolizes the Satya Narayan Puja. Every house has different recipe for Panjiri but PanchAmrit and halwa remain same.Here I am sharing theses recipes which are prevalent in every north-endian house hold.
