It is meant to be a place where God himself comes to eat. No wonder then that the Jagannath Puri kitchen is the biggest kitchen in the world. It also uses the traditional way to cook in fresh clay pots every day using the water from two wells within the temple premises.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31895\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31895\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31895\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/khaja-sweet-dish-puri-odisha.jpg\" alt=\"Khaja a crispy sweet dish temple prasad\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/khaja-sweet-dish-puri-odisha.jpg 640w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/khaja-sweet-dish-puri-odisha-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/khaja-sweet-dish-puri-odisha-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Khaja a crispy sweet dish<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The food cooked is a whole meal that is cooked by the Brahmins or Sevayats of the temple. However, it is believed that the Mahalakshmi \u2013 the consort of the Jagannath herself looks over the kitchen. The prasad is first offered to Jagannath after which it becomes Prasad. It is then offered to Mahalakshmi, after which it becomes Mahaprasad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can visit the kitchen in the morning to see the cooking. Later in the day you can visit Anand Bazaar and get the prasad which includes rice, daal, vegetables, and lots of sweets. In fact, people in and around Puri take the temple food for any functions at their homes.<\/p>\n<p>To take home, dry items like Khaja are packed in neatly carved palm leaf boxes.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tirupati_Laddu\"><\/span>Tirupati Laddu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Who does not like Laddus from Tirupati Balaji? It is a unique Laddu with its own GI tag that every Balaji devotee craves. Though it is made of the same ingredients that many laddus are made of \u2013 Gram Flour, Ghee, Sugar, Nuts and Spices, its secret ingredient is the devotion that goes into it. After all, it is made to be offered to Venkateshwara \u2013 the one who lives on Tirumala hills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/gumlet.assettype.com\/freepressjournal\/import\/2013\/12\/Tirupati-Laddu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" \/>Made in lakhs within the temple precincts, each laddu weighs about 200 gms and is offered to devotees after they have visited the temple. The taste is divine and the phrase \u2013 you just can\u2019t have one, seems to be written for it. No wonder people not just eat but also pick up for taking it back home with them.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makhan_Mishri_at_Krishna_Temples\"><\/span>Makhan Mishri at Krishna Temples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Krishna\u2019s childhood stories are full of his fondness for Makhan or butter.

Many Krishna temples offer Makhan Mishri prasad but I remember two temples where I have had it very fondly. The first one is the famous Banke Bihari temple in <a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/places-to-visit-in-vrindavan-temples-ghats-museums\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vrindavan<\/a> \u2013 the very land where Krishna lived as a youngster. \u00a0Second is the <a href=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/architecture-dwarkadhish-temple-dwarka\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dwarkadhish temple in Dwarka<\/a> \u2013 the golden city that he built on the west coast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I remember asking for multiple helpings as I loved eating the freshly churned butter with a bit of sweetness of Mishri. Even today I am thankful to the generous lady who was distributing the prasad that day.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dried_Apple_in_Vaishno_Devi_Temple_Prasad\"><\/span>Dried Apple in Vaishno Devi Temple Prasad<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vaishno Devi sits on top of Trikuta Parvat, near Jammu. In North India, her\u2019s is the most visited shrine. They say you visit her only when you get her \u2018Bulawa\u2019 or call. I am yet to get that call despite living in the vicinity many times. However, I have been fortunate enough to receive the prasad from Ma Vaishno Devi many times.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34647\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34647\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34647\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dried-apple-slices-prasad.jpg\" alt=\"Dried Apple \" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dried-apple-slices-prasad.jpg 640w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dried-apple-slices-prasad-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/dried-apple-slices-prasad-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34647\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dried Apple, Image courtesy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You get Murmura or puffed rice, Ilaichidana or sugar balls, some dry fruits and sun-dried apples. Dried apples are unique to the prasad of Ma Vaishno Devi. They last for a long time, so you can take them back home, and keep them for people you may meet after some time. They also carry the essence of the apple-growing region around the temple. For me, they carry a lot of childhood memories.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lal_Peda_at_Sankat_Mochan_Temple_in_Kashi\"><\/span>Lal Peda at Sankat Mochan Temple in Kashi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The famous Hanuman temple was built by Goswami Tulsidas ji, who is the author of not just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anuradhagoyal.com\/why-read-ramcharitmanas-tulsidas-hindi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ramcharitmanas<\/a> but also Hanuman Chalisa \u2013 the most chanted verses to Hanuman.

We also visited as kids. Huge piles of bright orange Bundi can be seen outside the Hanuman temples, especially in the evenings. This is a weekly affair, and you hardly get any Bundi on the other six days of the week. It tastes like Jalebi but comes in the form of small balls that melt in the mouth. There are soft and crisp varieties, I like the latter but there are those who like soft ones.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34653\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34653\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34653\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sweet-bhoondi-prasad-hanuman.jpg\" alt=\"Bundi Temple Prasad from Hanuman Temples\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sweet-bhoondi-prasad-hanuman.jpg 640w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sweet-bhoondi-prasad-hanuman-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/sweet-bhoondi-prasad-hanuman-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bundi Temple Prasad from Hanuman Temples, Image <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As kids, we would typically buy a small packet from the shop outside, visit the temple and hand it to the Pujari ji.

In North India Peda and Laddus are common prasad in most temples. You see rows of Mithai shops selling them outside temples. In South India, it is Payasam or the temple food that everyone looks forward to. Puffed rice and Ilaichidana are common dry prasad to take home with you.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31553\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31553\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31553\" src=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/stone-bowl-odisha-temples.jpg\" alt=\"Stone Carved Bowl at Odisha Temples\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/stone-bowl-odisha-temples.jpg 640w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/stone-bowl-odisha-temples-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inditales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/stone-bowl-odisha-temples-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31553\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charanamrita in Stone Carved Bowl at Odisha Temples<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What makes temple prasad special is the devotion with which it is prepared, offered to the deity, and then to the devotee and the devotion with which it is received and eaten.
