Source: BDK Tripiṭaka: The Susiddhikara-sūtraKamolī (कमोली) refers to one of the various types of cakes mentioned in Chapter 12 (“offering food”) of the Susiddhikara-sūtra. Accordingly, “Cakes with feminine names are for using with mantra-consorts—cakes with feminine names are kamolī (?) cakes, parpaṭī cakes, and so forth.. [...] Among the cakes, offer those that are most highly prized and also of delicious taste when seeking higher accomplishments; as for those of secondary taste, they are for the other two families”.
When you wish to offer food [viz., kamolī cakes], first cleanse the ground, sprinkle scented water all around, spread out on the ground leaves that have been washed clean, such as lotus leaves, palāśa (dhak) leaves, and leaves from lactescent trees, or new cotton cloth, and then set down the oblatory dishes. [...] First smear and sprinkle the ground and then spread the leaves; wash your hands clean, rinse out your mouth several times, swallow some water, and then you should set down the food [viz., kamolī]. [...]
