Tart Amrit | Special Festival Fusion Recipe |How to make Tart Amrit | Stepwise Pictures

Hi Supermoms,

Today I am sharing a very unique recipe that combines two of my favourite dishes - 'Tart 'and 'Panchamrit'.'Panchamrit' is a sweet dish that is made during special functions, festivals or pooja days at home and in the temple. The name 'Panchamit' means 'Five Nectars'. It has five healthy ingredients like Sugar,Milk,Ghee, Curd and Honey. Many a times fruits like banana, apple, pomegranate,coconut and dryfruits like cashewnuts, dates etc., is added to this dessert.   Sometimes, Jaggery is added instead of sugar.According to Ayurveda, this dish is extremely healthy for the body. I have fond memories of licking tasty panchamrit from my palms during various 'temple visits' in South India.

In the present world, it is easier to make children eat cakes, tarts,cookies etc. When I had over ripe bananas at home, I wanted to make a fusion dessert that even kids cannot refuse. As it is Navratra Season, Kuttu Flour/Buckwheat is available in plenty. I have combined the goodness of Panchamrit and Buckwheat flour through my original creation"Tart Amrit".

It was such a delicious 'offering' to God, as it was a pooja day at home  and the entire batch was sold out. I am extremely excited to share this recipe with you all!

3. You add powdered jaggery instead of sugar in the filling.
