About Karah parshad

Karah Parshad is a traditional Sikh offering associated with Punjabi cuisine, primarily served in gurdwaras (Sikh temples) as part of religious ceremonies. It is made by combining equal parts of whole wheat flour, clarified butter (ghee), and sugar, cooked together with water to create a thick, smooth pudding-like consistency. Rich in flavor, Karah Parshad is a symbol of equality and humility, shared equally among all attendees. While it is a source of instant energy due to its carbohydrate content, it is high in sugar and saturated fats, making it calorie-dense with limited nutritional benefits. Whole wheat flour adds a small amount of dietary fiber and protein. For a healthier version, some opt for reduced sugar or swap ghee with unsaturated oils. However, its spiritual significance far outweighs its dietary aspects, as it is consumed mindfully as part of a sacred ritual.
