Chef Vishnu Manohar speaking to media said, “The weight of this kadhai is 1300 to 1400 kg. This is made of steel, and the central part is made of iron so that when halwa is made, it does not burn. The size is 10 feet by 10 feet. It has a capacity of 12,000 litres, and 7,000 kg of halwa can be made in it. A crane is required to lift it. The spatula, weighing 10 to 12 kgs, has holes in it so that it is easy to cook.” He further said that the halwa will be prepared using 900 kg of rava, 1000 kg of ghee, 1000 kg of sugar, 2000 litres of milk, 2500 litres of water, 300 kg of dry fruits and 75 kg of cardamom powder.
The chef named the initiative as ‘Kar Seva to Pak Seva’
After offering it to Ram Lala, this prasad will be distributed to about one and a half lakh people. He further said, “We have named this initiative as Kar Seva to Pak Seva. Our emotions are attached to it. There is a lot of difference between Ayodhya during the movement and today’s Ayodhya. Today, there is too much excitement in Ayodhya.”
