The origin of Kadha Prasad can be traced back to the time of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism. Guru Nanak Dev is said to have cooked the first batch of Kadha Prasad himself during his travels to spread his message of peace, love, and equality.

This delicious prasad was initially made with only three ingredients – wheat flour, ghee, and sugar. However, over time, other ingredients such as semolina, saffron, and nuts were added to enhance the flavour and nutritional value of the dish. The preparation of Kadha Prasad is also steeped in tradition and spirituality. The process of making Kadha Prasad involves reciting verses from the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy book. The recitation of these verses is believed to imbue the Kadha Prasad with divine blessings. It is believed that the consumption of Kadha Prasad not only nourishes the body but also purifies the soul and brings one closer to the divine. (Image courtesy: Instagram/@myfooddum)
