Before you begin preparing the Panchamrit, you should know that it is high in calories and cholesterol, and is not meant to be consumed in a large quantity at a time.

A step-by-step and easy method to prepare Panchamrit for Janmashtami:

First, take the entire curd in a bowl or a big jug and beat it till it becomes a little light in texture. However, make sure that you are not beating it too much. For the Panchamrit, the dahi has to be a little thick. The consistency shouldn’t be flowy. Next, pour 1 cup of milk into the curd and mix well. You can use cold milk for the same. Use boiled milk to avoid the raw smell in your Panchamrit. Now, add the honey and the sugar and mix well. Keep stirring the mixture until the sugar is entirely dissolved in the liquid. This will take time because sugar doesn’t get easily dissolved in any liquid if it’s cold. Once it’s all mixed well, take a tiny amount on your palm and taste it. If you think it needs to be sweetened more, then add more sugar or honey as per your taste. Add the Tulsi leaves at the end and your Panchamrit is ready.

Happy Janmashtami to you all!
