Panchakajjaya

I love the way you have captured the picture. this Bengal gram addition to the recipe is new to me…but I am sure it tastes Wonderful.
I’m learning so much about the different dishes that are offered in different states of India to Lord Ganesha. An easy and yet flavorful Panchakajjaya. I guess that means 5 ingredients.
