Panagam is a traditional Southindian drink prepared on festivals like Ram navami, Hanuman Jayandhi or as a prasadam to any pooja . I generally prepared this drink on Thursday’s as an offering to Sai Baba. It is a very healthy no cook drink prepared with jaggery and dried ginger powder. Panagam is very good to beat the heat. Let us see how to make this drink.
