Haribol,
I just found your site and I was amazed by the baking. I have been baking for some years and devotees always seem pleased but your stuff is totally pro. I was hoping I could get some basic cake and icing recipe that you use to make everything such high quality. Really, I would love all your recipes! but that is a bit much to ask. I would very much appreciate it!
Jaya,
Nitai
Haribol Nitai,
Thanks for your post. I will post a basic cake and icing recipe soon. I’m kind of busy right now with work and school, and since the semester is almost over, so a lot of deadlines to meet. Please give me sometime.Hare Krishna :o)
yours humbly,
Malati dasi
Great! I look forward to it. Thank you.
Hello Malati,
I mistook your name for Mother Malati also from USA (GBC). So I would recommend that you add some initials after your name.
E.g. Malati (the cook)
Hope you don’t mind my comment.
I teach Ayurvedic Cooking to new comers at my local temple. By S. Prabhupada’s mercy, I get to cook for the deities couple times a week. (15 items for Raja Bhoga)
Hare Krishna everybody…I am here visiting the philippines and I got this correct address of Iskcon in Manila…….the previous address does not exist….this is the right address for krishna in the Philippines……I am hoping to visit there soon….and also to add..the philipinos are the most humble and wonderful people i have encountered in the world…Hope someday they will realise also the truth of Krishna…..love u all…HARI BOL!!!

It was nice to find your webiste. Please send my regards to Radha Raman.
Pretty insightful post. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you! Keep it up
Hi, Do you have a recipe for the dessert they serve at krishna lunch?? I am very interested in trying to make it. Thank you very much!
Hi Isaac!
I apologized for the very late reply. As for the dessert, I don’t know which one is your asking for, but if I’m not mistaken, I think you’re asking about Halava. I don’t have my own recipe, but I used this one from Kurma Prabhu. He’s famous Hare Krishna Chef in Australia. Have fun in making your first halava. Below is the recipe:
In this
recipe, the humble semolina teams up with the world’s two most expensive
spices – saffron and cardamom. Enriched with sultanas and flaked almonds,
serve fluffy, plump grained halava hot with cream, custard, or as is for an
epicurian experience.
Preparation and cooking time: about 30 minutes.
Makes enough for 6-8 persons (or 4-6 halava addicts !)
2 3/4 cups water
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon saffron strands, soaked in 1 tablespoon boiling hot milk
140g unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups coarse grained semolina
1/3 cup flaked almonds
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/3 cup sultanas
Combine the water, sugar and the soaked saffron in a 2-litre/quart
saucepan. Place over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring
to the boil, then reduce the heat to very low and cover with a tight-fitting
lid.
Melt the butter in a 2- or 3-litre/quart saucepan over low heat,
stirring occasionally. Add the semolina, and slowly and rhythmically
stir-fry the grains for about 20 minutes, or until they darken to a tan
colour and become aromatic. Add the flaked almonds to the grains towards
the end of the toasting process.
Raise the heat under the syrup, add the cardamom and the sultanas,
and bring it to a rolling boil. Raise the heat under the semolina for 1
minute, stirring continuously. Remove the saucepan of semolina from the
heat, and slowly pour the hot syrup into the semolina, stirring steadily.
The grains may at first splutter, but will quickly cease as the liquid is
absorbed.
Return the halava to the stove and stir steadily over very low heat
until the grains fully absorb the liquid, start to form into a pudding-like
consistency, and pull away from the sides of the pan. Place a tight-fitting
lid on the saucepan and cook over the lowest possible heat for 5 minutes. A
heat-diffuser works well. Removed the covered saucepan from the heat and
allow the halava to steam for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot.
Haribol!
I was a devotee of Krishna there is a long time ago and I still appreciating the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita and the teaching of Sril Prabupada.
I’m french and I go very often to Philippines.
Is it possible that you post all your recipes and informations about ISCKON to the http://www.filipinoinfrance.com website?
It’s a webstite for all the filipino living in France, but also for those who like Philippines and cultures…and foods 😉
So it’s could be great if you post some vegetarian recipes.

Malati Mathaji,
A small request: but kindly don’t mind otherwise n excuse me please… how about topping every dish with a Tulasi leaf and displaying to us… because we feel to go for it directly sometimes not making an offering of the same to the Lord mentally…. Ha ha ha
Giridhar
Malati Mathaji,
I got to read something in “Perfect questions n perfect answers, where ur name comes in” :
“Srila Prabhupada: Pleasing taste. So the Vedas say, raso vai sah. The exact translation of mellow is rasa. [Malati, Syamasundara’s wife, enters with a tray of food] What is that?
Malati: Eggplant, fried.
Srila Prabhupada: Oh! All-attractive! All-attractive! [Laughter.]”
Ha ha
Hare Krsna Malti,
Dandavats.
Just visited your webpage on https://ohmyghee.com/iskcon-youth-philippines/
I liked the japa of Giridhari swami, its very nice and clear, i also liked the background music of peacocks and sitar. Can i download this file ? currently its not an option on your webpage.

Hare Krishna Keyur Prabhu,
PAMHO! AGTSP! My apology for the very late reply. Regarding your inquiry, I honestly don’t have the files anymore, or it could be I misplaced it somewhere at my old hard drive. But if ever I found it, I wouldn’t say that it’ll provide it for free because when my guru maharaja was recording it, they we’re trying to collect some small donations through this recording in order to support the temple, and I’d like to keep that way in honor to my guru’s hard work and to the devotees who are behind this recording as well. Hare Krishna!
Sincerely,
Malati dd
Hare Krishna PAMHO
Do you have temple fund raising web site for your temple?
Regards
Dayananda Dasa ( Melbourne)
Hare Krishna Dayananda Prabhu,
PAMHO AGTSP!
I apologized for the very late reply, for I haven’t been in my blog in a long while. As for your inquiry, I’m not aware of any fund raising site for the temple in the Philippines, but you can inquire from Manjula devi dasi, since she’s one of the temple board there, and she’s also the secretary. I believe she can tell you more about any fund raising activity that is going on right now. You can keep in touch w/ her through her email;
sharon_olaguer@yahoo.com.
Or, if you don’t mind prabu, if you can give me your email, then I can forward your inquiry to Manjula. Thank you prabhu, and hope this meets you in good tidings. Hare Krishna!
yours humbly,
Malati dasi
