Karah parshad
The warm sweet of flour, sugar and ghee given to everyone at the end of Sikh worship.
Karah parshad is made from equal parts of whole wheat flour, sugar and ghee, cooked in an iron karahi while gurbani is recited. It is blessed with a touch of the kirpan after the Ardas, the congregational prayer, and given into the cupped hands of every person present.
Like the langar, it is given equally to all, regardless of caste or faith. Sikhs offer it to mark births, weddings, deaths and every important moment in life.
Its taste, sweet and warm and rich, is the first taste of Sikh worship for most Sikh children and remains one of its strongest memories.
