Panak/ Jaggery Drink

Panak is usually prepared during Ram Navami. But can quench your thirst during any hot day. I made this during Ganapati Festival and completely missed to post the recipe. 

When I look back the memories I have with this panak is going to Ram Navami Puja at Rama Mandir in Thirthahalli with all my cousins in the evening. After the puja a very simple phalahar was served. Cucumber Pachadi, Sakre Bale Hannu and Panak. This was served any number of time one wants. Mouth watering dishes. All are my favorite.

Ponasa Patholi

One of the delicacy and very unique during jackfruit season. Jackfruit ground with rice and then steamed in turmeric leaves has a fantastic taste ! I did not have turmeric leaves so I steamed it in banana leaves. Let be turmeric or banana leaves we enjoyed it. First time for my daughter and she loved it :-)

Patholi is a delicacy in Konkan and Goan Communities. Konkani, Goan and Kerala people use coconut in almost all their food preparation. These places are located at coastal regions where coconut is grown in abundance. This is prepared without jackfruit too.

My maternal Uncle loved to have this with ghee on top and dip it into honey. I love it with honey too!
