The giant stainless steel kadhai which was used to prepare Khichdi
for a world record recently at the India Gate lawns, New Delhi, reached the langar at Golden Temple on Sunday.
The 912 kg khichdi, that was prepared in New Delhi during the World
Food India event on November 4, has made it to the Guinness World
Records.
Employees of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), including Golden Temple manager Sulakhan Singh Bhangali, have confirmed that the giant utensil has reached the Golden Temple. However, it has not been displayed in public so far.
Meanwhile, sewadars (volunteers) at the Golden Temple langar said the langar already has bigger utensils, and that there is no need of the utensil at the Golden Temple. However, some said that since khichdi is rarely served at the langar, the kadhai may be used for preparing ‘kheer’ or other meals.
A team of nearly two dozen people led by chef Sanjeev Kapoor cooked the 912 kg of khichdi. The event was attended by Union minister of food processing and industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal and yoga guru Ramdev, among others.
