Steps
to
Prepare
the
Prashad

Start
by
combining
milk,
jaggery,
and
homemade
condensed
milk
in
a
kadai.
Simmer
the
mixture
while
stirring
frequently
to
prevent
burning
until
it
reduces
to
one-fourth
of
its
original
volume.
In
a
separate
pan,
heat
desi
ghee
and
fry
almonds,
cashews,
walnuts,
and
flax
seeds
until
they
turn
golden
brown;
set
them
aside.

Next,
heat
one
tablespoon
of
desi
ghee
in
another
pan
and
roast
makhane,
desiccated
coconut,
and
melon
seeds
until
they
are
lightly
golden.
Once
the
milk
mixture
has
reduced
sufficiently,
add
all
the
roasted
ingredients
to
it
and
mix
well.
Transfer
the
mixture
to
a
lined
tin
and
top
it
with
desiccated
coconut,
fried
dry
fruits,
and
a
luxurious
layer
of
edible
gold
leaf.
Allow
the
prashad
to
cool
completely
before
cutting
it
into
pieces.

Cooking
Tips
for
Perfect
Prashad

To
ensure
the
best
results
while
making
this
prashad:
stir
the
milk
mixture
often
to
avoid
burning
and
ensure
even
reduction.
Roast
dry
fruits
and
other
ingredients
on
low
heat
to
enhance
their
flavors
without
burning
them.
Reduce
the
milk
to
a
thick
pudding-like
consistency
for
a
rich
texture.
Use
fresh
desi
ghee
for
roasting
to
elevate
the
flavor.
