ADHIRASAM RECIPE | DIWALI SWEETS RECIPE

 Adhirasams i made it for the first time. Many of them make for adhirasams for Diwali but we don’t have the tradition of making this for diwali.  But i wanted to try my hands on Adhirasam. I tried it in my mom’s house when i went in June. My sister’s sil helped me out but unfortunately it was a big disaster. My mom went for  a function in Trichy 2 months back and there she asked the samayal mami the exact proportion and also the nuances of making adhirasams. And she tried this in small quantity at home and gave me the exact recipe. Yay i got perfect soft adhirasams.
Actually i tried this during Navaratri itself , though i wanted to make again today, i was totally running out of time.

KARA THENKUZHAL MURUKKU RECIPE | EASY DIWALI SNACKS

Diwali 2014 is nearing very fast and i know you must be busy in planning what sweets and snacks for Diwali festival. Murukku | Thenkuzhal is a must one in all of the houses. Last year itself my friend told, her sister will make thenkuzhal by adding toor dal to the flour, while grinding. After that i completely forgot about that . Before we visited India in June, i happened to see a Kara thenkuzhal recipe in a cookbook which my friend gave me. I noted down the recipe and got the toor dal ground in the flour mill to make this for diwali. Though you can grind in the mixie, always flour mill grind flours are very smooth in texture. And made this murukku during navaratri, when i  visited my friend. It was very crispy and i loved the flavor of the thenkuzkal too. Try this kara thenkuzhal for a change from the usual murukku.
