Ammini Kozhukattai/Mani Kozhukattai/Ganesha Chathurthi Recipes
The
first thing that comes to mind when it is Ganesha/Vinayagar Chathurthi is
Modhakam which we prepare as special offering for Lord Ganesha. We also prepare
different types of kozhukattai’s like paal kozhukattai, kaara kozhukattai, pidi
kozhukattai etc. When we make modhakams or kozhukattai we always tend to have
some dough left, this mani kozhukattai is usually prepared with that dough
only. But nowadays we all prepare this mani kozhukattai separately as offering
to Lord Ganesha. Not only for Ganesha Chathurthi, I make this mani kozhukattai
as evening snacks for my kids and they love it because they are cute and tasty.
Here’s
how to make Ammini Kozhukattai/Mini Kozhukattai with step by step photos…

Ribbon Pakoda/Nada Pakoda/Ola Pakoda
Ribbon
Pakoda is another delicious, crispy, crunchy and a traditional snack prepared
during Diwali and Krishna Jayanthi. The name is really very interesting because
these pakodas are long like a ribbon(nada in Tamil) and also in most of the
houses it is also called ola/ottu pakoda because they are crispy and crunchy.
There are different variations in making this ribbon pakoda, this is the
easiest version that can be done easily and quickly. I am planning to share the
other variations with garlic and sesame seeds in my future post hopefully
before Diwali. My mom prepares murukkus, ribbon pakoda, oma podi etc during
Diwali, Krishna Jayanthi and other special occasions. I carry out
the same tradition of making all these during these special days and see to
that I don’t break this tradition every year. Meanwhile, do check out other interesting Diwali Sweets and Diwali Snack varieties here.

Murukku/Thenkuzhal-South Indian Delight/Diwali Special/Gokulashtami Special
Murukku
is a very famous and authentic South Indian[Tamil Nadu] snacks prepared during special
occasions like Diwali, Krishna Jayanthi etc. Murukku means twisted in Tamil and
made from rice and urad dal flour. There are different varieties of murukku
like mullu murkku, thengai paal murukku(coconut milk), Kaara murukku, butter
murukku etc.
This murukku
is especially prepared in large quantities and shared with friends and families
during Diwali. It stays fresh and crunchy for 3-4 weeks when properly stored in
airtight containers. Whenever I make murukku, I get reminded of days when my
mom prepares snacks during Diwali. Usually Diwali preparation starts a week
before with shopping and making an array of sweets and snacks. I made this
simple and quick Murukku for Krishna Jayanthi yesterday, so I am sharing it
with you all. Meanwhile, do check out other interesting Diwali Sweets and Diwali Snack varieties here.

Paal Kozhukattai with Vellam/Sweet Rice Dumplings with Jaggery – Vinayagar Chathurthi Special
Wishing
all friends and readers “A Very Happy 67th Independence Day”. On
this special day I am sharing with you Paal Kozhukattai a traditional South Indian Sweet…
Vinayagar
Chathurthi/Ganesha Chathurthi is the birthday of Lord Ganesha celebrated all
over India and many other parts of the world by Hindus. On this auspicious day,
delectable neivadyams are made for Ganesha and special poojas are performed as
a mark of celebration. Kozhukattai is a very special dish prepared for
Vinayagar Chathurthi. But there are different types of kozhukattai’s like the
modhagams, Kaara Kozhukattai, sweet kozhukattai etc. Paal Kozhukattai is one
among them, which is nothing but small rice dumplings cooked in coconut milk
along with either jaggery or white sugar. I always prefer to make it with
jaggery/vellam as it is healthier than the white sugar.

Sweet Pidi Kozhukattai/Rice Dumplings with Jaggery for Amman/Ganesha Chathurthi
Hello
Friends,
“Aadi”
is a very special and auspicious month in Tamil calendar, when special poojas
are done for Amman. Special neivedhanams are done for Amman like sweet pongal
and beautiful decorations done and special poojas conducted throughout the month. During
the month of Aadi, the tradition of making Kezhvaragu Koozh for Amman and
distributing to everybody is very famous in Tamil Nadu. Since my parents are
from Thanjavore, the tradition goes by making rice kanji, paanagam, neer mor,
maavilakku, drumstick leaves poriyal and offering special prayers to Amman and then distributing them to everybody.
But in
my MIL's house the tradition goes by making Kezhvaragu Koozh, pidi kozhukattai,
mochai kottai kara kuzhambu with karuvadu, drumstick leaves poriyal, thullu
maavu and offered to Amman as neivedhyam. We do special prayers and then
distribute to everybody. Usually the Kezhvaragu Koozh and
rice kanji are all prepared in large scale and distribute to atleast 30 to 50 people or even
more.
As this
is the month of “Aadi” and tomorrow
being Friday I thought I will share this
pidi kozhukattai with all of you and also this is special request from one of
my readers Deepa. Not just for neivedhyam you can make this healthy and
delicious pidi kozhukattai for your kids as evening snacks. So what are guys
waiting for, enjoy…
