Happy Ramnavami Wishes

Paanak is sweet spicy drink made in less time using jaggery, pepper, cardamom powder, dry ginger and lemon juice. This is specially made in temples at my native place and served as Ramnavami prasad.



I am yet to note down the traditional / authentic recipe from my family. Today being Ramnavami at my native place, I was tempted to prepare it. I did this with a guess work about the proportion of ingredients and served it chilled as prasad at home. 

 Will update the authentic recipe some time soon as I get it. Happy Ramnavami Wishes to all my readers.
