Panchakjjaya Prasadam | Panchakjjaya recipe with step wise pictorial and video method.

WHAT IS PANCHAKJJAYA ?

Panchakjjaya comprises of two words : PANCHA & KAJJAYA.

PANCHA means Paanch i.e. Five (5) and KAJJAYA means prasad or sweet from these five ingredients.

Panchakajjaya is naivedyam (offering to God) traditionally made for Ganesh chaturthi festival and even on Krishna Janmashtami.

Ganesh Chaturthi is couple of days ahead and this sweet is offered to lord Ganesha while worshiping. It is later distributed as prasad to people.

There are many ways to make this recipe using different ingredients. We have made it using Poha or avalakki with jaggery. Some made it with split chana dal or black chickpeas, sesame seeds and sugar also.

You can also find panchakajjaya in two forms, one is powdered form and the other is seen as lumps. This is such an easy recipe which gets ready in no time  and you can make it ahead of time.
