In India, the front portion of ground near our gate will be all sand.
So it will be nice to make kolam early morning.
In Malaysia, normally all will be tarred.
I still follow the practise of sprinkling water early in the morning
and making a kolam in front of my house.
One kolam I made today.
Thanks. Kugan98

kugan,
back to the thread. busy with pongal and had guests at home. noodles looks very yummy.
kolam is so good. in our apartment, myself and my neighbour drew big kolams on pongal day and mattupongal day. we did colour also, kids enjoyed. so many people from our building came to see that.
really it is nice to put kolam everyday like india.
peanut butter receipe looks very easy, i have to try that.

You are right Suvai nga, kolams are meant for ants and insects.
Nowadays the kola maavu is made of fine white powdered sand.
I used to carry back kilos of the powder.
During the last month, my sister gave a bag to my worker who was coming from India to give it to me.
She had put a kilo of the kola podi in the bag, which my worker did not know.
After scanning the bag, the officer pulled him aside and question him as to what he was carrying in the bag.
That boy simply tiru tiru muli and said that the bag belonged to his boss. They opened the bag threw out all the things, after examining the podi many times only they allowed him to board the plane. Poor boy he was very badly shaken.
So please do not carry kola podi in your luggage.
Thanks. Kugan98
