In Sanskrit Panch means five and Amrut means secret nectar. Panchamrut is a combination of five foods mainly honey, sugar, milk, yogurt and ghee/clarified butter and it is used in Hindu worship or Puja. It can be made for prasad or it can be made during fasting/vrat.
I still remember as a child we used to wait for festivals like Janamashtami or Shivratri as my mom prepares this to offer to the God as “Bhog”(food offered to God). I made this on Janamashtami, so thought to share with you all. Let’s get started.
