What was the process for distributing the prasad after Sai Baba finished cooking in the Handis?

Once the food was fully cooked in the Handis, a specific process was followed for its distribution. According to the account in Chapter 38, Baba would first have the food brought into the Masjid. A Maulvi would then be called to formally offer the "Fatya," a consecration prayer. After this blessing, the very first portions of the prasad were sent to Mhalasapati and Tatya. Following this, Baba would personally serve the remaining food with His own hands, primarily to the poor and weak, deriving great joy and contentment from satisfying their hunger.
