Phova Panchkadayi is one of the simple dish, which is normally prepared  as " Naivedya  ". Its one of the konkani dish. In konkani Phovu means rice flakes, & panchkadayi means rice flakes mixed with jaggery, ghee & cardamom powder. I got this dish from my mother. So here is the recipe.

Rice flakes 1 1/2 to 2 cups

Jaggery 1/2 cup

Grated fresh coconut 1/2 cup

Black sesame seeds  1/2 tsp 

Ghee  2 tsp.

Method :

Dry roast the sesame seeds  until it splutters, keep it aside.

Take wide bottom kadai, add jaggery & water and allow it to melt.

Once it melts completely & comes to boil add grated coconut mix well & heat it for further 2 mins & switch off the flame.

Now add ghee, cardamom powder, mix well & allow it to cool.

Once it cools completely add rice flakes in small amount until you get homogeneous mixture.
