Can you describe the entire process Sai Baba followed for preparing and distributing food as prasad?

📖 Chapter 38

Sai Baba's method for distributing prasad was a deeply personal and laborious process. As detailed in Chapter 38, He would personally go to the grocer to purchase all the ingredients like salt, chili, vegetables, and coconut, paying in cash on the spot. He would then grind wheat, pulses, and spices with His own hands in the Masjid. After tirelessly cooking the food in one of two Handis—a small one for fifty people or a large one for a hundred—He would have it brought into the Masjid. The food was then formally consecrated with a 'Fatya' prayer by a Maulvi. First, prasad was sent to Mhalasapati and Tatya, after which Baba would serve the remaining food with His own hands to the poor and weak, finding joy in their satisfaction.
