Bellada Panaka or panaka recipe explained with step by step pictures. Bellada panaka translates to jaggery juice in Kannada language. The most common ingredients in panaka is jaggery, tamarind (or lemon), ginger, pepper and cardamom. Few ingredients are optional.
In other languages Panaka is familiar by name panakam. This Bellada panaka is usually prepared and distributed on Hindu festival Shri rama navami. Along with panaka, many more dishes are prepared like kosambari, masale majjige, oggarane majjige and kadlebele kosambari recipes. Shri Ram Navami is a Hindu festival, celebrating the birth of Lord Rama. I have explained two types of panaka here. And I have prepred it in a small quantity.
