Panjeeri & Charanamrut

Panjeeri :

Roast 1 cup of wheat flour in a thick bottom pan. Stir continuously to ensure it doesnt get burnt.
When its almost done add 1/2 teaspoon of elaichi powder.
Turn off the gas and transfer the roasted wheat flour into a plate to cool.
Once its cooled off completely add less than 1/2 cup of ground sugar.

Charanamrut :
Charan in Hindi means feet and amrut means necter. Hence, Charanamrut here means the necter from the feet of the lord. Its a mix of 5 ingredients and doesnt require cooking. This sacred necter is the first to be had after pooja, that means even before prasad.

Mix 1 cup milk, 1.5 tablespoons curds, 1 tablespoon honey, any dry fruits (we use chironji), few roasted lotus seeds (options) and 1 teaspoon of ghee.
