Satyanarayan Pooja Mahaprasad Recipe

Satyanarayan Pooja Mahaprasad recipe step by step photos - Today I am here with a traditional mahaprasad recipe which is prepared during Satyanarayan pooja and Ganesh chaturthi festival. I have performed Satyanarayan pooja in shravan month. During this pooja, mahaprasad is offered as naivedya to Lord Satyanarayan. The same prasad is also prepared to offer Lord Ganesh during Ganesh chaturthi festival. This is the traditional method of making prasad by using ghee, rava, sugar, banana, milk and cardamoms in proper proportion. This is a very simple dish to prepare but need some patience as it requires continuous stirring. It tastes absolutely divine and is worth the effort.

Amrakhand recipe - How to make mango shrikhand

Amrakhand recipe - Amrakhand is one of the popular Maharashtrian desserts made with hung curd, mango, sugar and the flavor is infused with cardamom powder. It is prepared during festivals and weekends, usually served with pooris. When it comes to making dessert I always prefer to make smooth and creamy amrakhand which is not only easy but also very quick to prepare. The hung curd is available in sweet shop, otherwise you can also make it at home by draining the thick yogurt through a muslin cloth. Hung curd is called chakka in Marathi. Whenever I have large quantity of yogurt in stock, I make hung curd at home. I prefer to use alphonso mango for this dessert, as it has thick and sweet pulp which is perfect for the thick, creamy amrakhand.
