Easy temple-style homemade prasadam. No cooking required. It takes less than 5 mins to prepare this delicious Prasadam. Panchamirtham recipe is prepared with  5 major ingredients such as ripen bananas, dates,  Palm sugar, sugar candy, and honey. Ghee, cardamom powder, and edible camphor uplifts the taste

    Panchamirtham - prasadam

    According to Hindu worship, many festivals have Panchamrita naivedyam as part of the rituals. Pancha means five and Panchamrita means five amruthams or amrtas used in Hindu worship. For festivals, we prepare a version of Panchamirtham with milk, honey, sugar, yogurt, and ghee. There is another version of Panchamritham very popular in Tamil Nadu especially in Murugan temple. Panchamrutham is prepared during temple abhishekams.

    Temple Panchamritham

    Panchamritham is a very famous sweet prasadam in Pazhani murugan temple (and also in vaitheeswaran temple), and you can see all the shops selling these Panchamrutham in the Palani temple and also in the foothills of palani temple. It also a famous kovil prasad in vadapalani murugan temple and  thiruparankundram temple.

    How to make the best Panchamirtham prasadam

    • Always choose a ripe banana 
    • Use de-seeded and roughly chopped dates
    • Use three types of sweeteners for the best flavor - such as palm sugar (brown sugar), honey, sugar candy
    • Add a pinch of edible camphor for the kovil prasadam flavor
    • Always add ghee and cardamom powder to compliment the taste 

    When is Panchamirtham prepared at the home? 

    In our home, we prepare Panchamirtham for Thai pusam, panguni uthiram, ganesh chadurthi, jamnashtami, navartri, karthigai prasadam, and even for Friday neivedyam, etc. Any special occasions like house warming, baby shower, ganapathi homam, baby shower, etc will always have panchamirtham prasadam.

    Can I use apple for Panjamirtham recipe?

    I prepared a version similar to the temple Panjamirtham recipe so I skipped apple. You can add any fruits or dry fruits of your choice. 

    Can I use jaggery instead of brown sugar?

    Traditionally palm sugar is used for Panchamrit but since it is not widely available in the US I have used brown sugar. You can also use jaggery instead
