What are the actual ingredients of karah parshad that Guru Nanak Dev Ji provided for the Sidhs and what was traditionally used in puratan times????????
Please be specific because I know the obvious answer but am looking for someone with historical knowledge to answer (with references if possible).
I'm specifically interested to know the type of sugar used, since i know it would not have been the toxic, white granulated sugar the British introduced in India in the early 1900s nor blocks of butter from Tesco.
Please tell me if the type of sugar used then is available today and where it can be bought.
I'd like us to know the genuine ingredients and methodology rather than doing the best we can with whatever ingredients may be convenient to us and labelling it as genuine karah parshad.
Why isn't there anyone or any gurdwara keeping the traditions alive. I feel we have neglected our traditions and are following others which is unacceptable.
I feel betrayed and let down. I'm sure other have had the same revelation as me and sought remedy. So please share your knowledge.
