Krishna followers around the world observe fasts and prepare Janmashtami special delights like dhaniya panjiri, makhan mishri, panchamrit etc to offer Lord Krishna. While all of these are quite common, there's one prasad variation that is quite unique and can be prepared on Janmashtami without any hassle. We're talking about makhana paag.
