The earlier recipe i shared with you was kabuli chana prasad and now this one is meetha poha,you might have noticed how healthy and tasty these one’s are.Indirectly whatever prasad we cook after offering to god it’s eaten by us,so our ancestors knew very well what is healthy and good for the body according to the season as Ganpati comes in rainy season.As a kid when we were offered these prasad I use to love them as coming from North India we never made this poha prasad and kids are pure soul,whatever you have eaten in your childhood you do remember not all things but this prasad was awesome. Celebrating Ganpati is full of social gathering where you get to meet all whom you have known or some new one,this was the real intention of celebrating Ganpati by Freedom fighter Tilak if you all remember your history text book☺
