Sri Rama Navami Recipes
Panakam is a
traditional Indian cool drink best suited for summer. The main ingredients of
this popular drink which can be prepared instantly are jaggery, ginger and
black pepper making it rich with medicinal value.
Kosambari, a type of
salad, normally a mixture of urad dal, cucumber, coconut and green chilies
makes an ideal pair with panaka.
These two preparations
are especially popular as prasadam which is served on Rama Navami by volunteers
in many temples as is customary. The food and beverages served not only make
the day special, but also prove ideal to beat the heat.
