Hi,

this is not to rake up any controversy, just out of general interest.  I was wondering about the original recipe of Karah Prashad.

To my knowledge, the western Gurdwaras today use: wheat, butter, brown sugar.  these are convenient, though processed foods.  They are also modern variants.  So what were the ingredients used in Guru ji's times?

For example, it must have been whole wheat.  And ghee I presume?  And Gurr (indian red sugar)?  Also, I presume it was cooked in an iron pot?

Can any history buffs help with this?

today we still use wholemeal wheat flour , ghee , water and sugar then was gurr now is white sugar(as most places have white sugar) . Degh is always made in sarabloh karai

some people think they know better and try to use suji /semolina but that is not traditional.

Thats what hindu brothers make on SatyaNarayan pooja, and add milk too, maybe because vishnu ji sits on milk sea.

Its really tasty though. Ironically, they say kadah prasad is tastier lol

yeah well we're not trying to make sooji halva really ...

I love that Mughal quote about how SInghs lives are centered around degh in sukh and dukh. Sukhrana is a big big thing in our people

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
