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.

I tried this with store bought paneer. I was in a  dilemma of whether to use store bought paneer  or to make paneer at home.

RIBBON MURUKKU RECIPE | OLA PAKODA RECIPE | DIWALI SNACKS RECIPES

I have already posted ribbon pakoda few years back. This version of ribbon murukku is an interesting one without the usual rice flour and gram flour combo. As mentioned in my milagu thattai post, this recipe too i got from my chitti. My amma passed on this flour according to the proportion mentioned by her. So i had the ready made flour and i find it very easy to make ribbon murukku with the instant flour. Even making the flour at home is quite easy one too. The ribbon pakodas were too crispy and a perfect snack for diwali too.

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.

I have been posting sweets recipes for Diwali 2014 last week and wanted to post few snacks recipes too in this week. Milagu thattai | Pepper flavoured thattai, is a very crispy snack and it tasted very similar to the Grand Snacks thattai. Those who have tasted the thattai from Grand sweets and snacks can relate to it. My sister tried this recipe and the recipe was originally from my chitti, who is an expert in making Bakshanams. She always huge packets of sweets and savories to her sons who are in US. My akka after trying her thattai, insisted me to try it and post it for diwali. It was very crunchy and melted in mouth. I made in small portions and it got over in a day. Check out my Thattai recipe with video
