Satyanarana Pooja is commonly performed on a full moon day. For the pooja some prasadam's are prepared which must be distributed to everyone attending the pooja. One of the prasadams's that is commonly prepared is the sooji halwa or kesari. When I was a kid my mom used to prepare this prasadam every month and take it to the Satyanarayana temple.This recipe was given to her by the punditji at the temple and my Amma taught me how to prepare it for the pooja many years ago.
