पंचखादय / Panchakhadya
A Dry Sweet Mixture with Coconut
Panchakhadya is a mildly-sweet mixture prepared using five ingredients: dried coconut, poppy seeds, almonds, powdered dates, and some powdered sugar. It is thought to be one of Lord Ganesha’s favourite foods and is therefore, distributed as prasad on the occasion of Ganesh Puja. The Panchakhadya dry mixture has a coarse texture and the spice powders add some warmth to the mouthfeel.
