Karah Parshad
Sikh sacred wheat halwa made with whole-wheat flour, ghee, sugar and water.
About Karah Parshad
Karah Parshad is a sacred Sikh offering prepared and shared in gurdwaras. This profile follows the fixed four-ingredient version made from whole-wheat flour, ghee, sugar and water.
Roasted wheat brings a deep nutty aroma, while ghee adds rich dairy flavour and sugar gives a direct, rounded sweetness. The simple formula keeps the toasted flour and clarified butter at the centre of the taste.
The finished parshad is warm, soft and glossy, with a cohesive spoonable texture rather than a firm cut sweet. Its colour is an even golden brown from the carefully roasted flour.
