Raghav Edible Camphor, 100 Grams

Raghav Edible Camphor (100 Grams): Pachai Karpooram for Prasadam, Payasam and Pooja
In South Indian temple kitchens, a tiny pinch of edible camphor is what gives Tirupati laddu, sakkarai pongal and festival payasam their unmistakable aroma. Raghav Edible Camphor, also known as pachai karpooram or bhimseni kapur, brings that fragrance home in a 100 gram pack. It is a treasured item for South Asian households who cook prasadam at home, and you can buy edible camphor online at SubziCart.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same camphor used for aarti?
No. Aarti tablets are usually synthetic and not meant for food. Edible camphor is a separate product traditionally used in prasadam, and the label will say it is edible.
How much edible camphor goes into a batch of sweets?
Only a pinch, often a grain or two for an entire pot of pongal or payasam. Too much turns the dish bitter, so follow the label guidance.
Why does the pack seem to shrink over time?
Camphor naturally evaporates at room temperature. Keeping it in a tightly sealed glass jar slows this down.
A tiny pinch goes a long way, so one pack can scent your festival cooking for many seasons.
