Basant Panchami or Saraswati Puja has multiple rituals and meals associated with it, especially in Bengali households. One such traditional fare is Dadhi Karma - a simple, sattvic meal of curd and puffed rice served before puja or rituals. It’s a type of no-cook dessert with optional ingredients, like mishti doi (sweet curd), sandesh, or other cottage cheese-based sweets, dried fruits, and nuts.
