DeepAvaLi brings a lot of nostalgic memories in my mind. When we were kids, mother used to prepare many goodies

for about three days! There will be about a dozen varieties of sweets and savories. They will be kept aside for Swami

'neyvEdhyam' on DeepAvaLi day. We were not allowed to taste them earlier! Gingelly oil, boiled with a teaspoon of rice

and black pepper and cooled would be ready for the oil bath. All our new dresses and that of the house maid, with turmeric

marks in the corners, would be neatly arranged on a 'maNai palagai' with 'kolam' on it, in the swami room. Our job is to

keep all the crackers and sparklers on huge trays and dry them in Sun light, at least for three days.


On the auspicious day, father will have his oil bath very early and wear his new dress. Mother will make us sit, one after the

other on 'maNai palagai' and keep oil on 'uchchan thalai'. Soon after bath, we do 'namaskAram' to Swami and parents and they

will give us the new dress! It was such an excitement to get the new dress, along with their blessings. The first thing given to

us is the 'DeewALi marundhu' in empty stomach. Then all the yummmmy items would follow! :hungry:

Other members can share their 'malarum ninaivugaL' and make this thread more interesting! :ranger:

hi RR madam,

Gingelly oil, boiled with a teaspoon of rice .....

i like this boiled rice very much....naan athai porukki rice mattum pidikkum....with little oil....generally i like coconut oil....instead

of NALLA ENNAI.....with seekai podi....kannu koncham eriyum....after fireworks....we go to temple too....we like

olai pattassu....we collect some unburned firecrackers from the street and collect together ...then burn it....

those days using bare hands to use friecrackers are called HEROES....i tried many times to inspire the neighbor

girls...showing like hero....sometimes i burnt my fingers too....

hi RR madam,

Gingelly oil, boiled with a teaspoon of rice .....

Yes Sir!

When the rice puffs and comes up, it shows that the oil is heated well and the black pepper is added

so that we will not have an attack of common cold after the early morning head bath! :thumb:

Sweets and savouries are not the only items that we relish during Deepawali...

We used to enjoy the Diwali marundhu (legiam)....

It is made from Ginger, Jaggery, Omam (Ajwain), cumin seeds & coriander seeds and ghee...It is supposed to solve all indigestion problems and keep us healthy.

Nowadays we have the ready made Podi available in South Indian shops which is used for making this legiam.
