Gur Payesh Recipe For Lakshmi Puja
Bengalis are famous for their sweets. Be it rasgullas or mishti doi, the Bongs sure know how to indulge one's sweet tooth. The Bengali payesh or kheer is also a dish that is very famous. Unlike the other sweets, this dessert can easily be prepared at home. The Bengali payesh recipe has special significance during Lakshmi Puja.
The Bengalis celebrate Kojagari Lakshmi Puja that comes two days after Vijaya Dashmi. On this day, the special Bengali gur payesh is served to Goddess Lakshmi as 'bhog'.
