Sihi Avalakki | Sweet Poha is very simple and requires no cooking. There is no much of a recipe here. This is usually prepared as prashad and for offerings to God during festivals like Tulsi puja and Janmashtami . Poha is lord Krishna's favourite hence its prepared for His offerings.
Most important Naivedyam offered to Lord are Banana Rasayana, Sajigge| Kshera , Panchamrut and Panchakajjaya.
Other few prasad recipes which I often do during Janmashtami are Gopalkala, Gojju Avalakki |Spicy Tangy Poha, Greengram Usal and Puri Undae| Murmura Ladoo
