Gurudware Ka Seera

Have you ever been to an Indian Gurudwara such as the one in Amritsar? One of my finest experiences was in the year 2012 when the Almighty graced my life in many ways. I visited several holy places in North India. One of them was the Shri Harimandir Sahib Gurudwara in Amritsar, Punjab. Wahe Guru Ji ka Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji ki Fateh This is commonly heard at prayer time. The recipe posted here is a sweet prasad (a sweet food served at the Gurudwara) which is so delicious that you will want to have a bowl full of it. Prepared with the chanting of prayers in an atmosphere of bliss and purity, you will feel truly blessed to taste this. We prepare this at home when we have special prayers. It vanishes within minutes! It is addictive.
