Thanks Niro. All praises to my mum.
Is the festival really a quiet affair? Not in KL though.

Friends - Let's try to update our Diwali recipes, now that the big day is just round the corner.
This year I intend to try out Nov's recipe for Moonthri Kothu!! It reminds me so much of my mum's delicacy. I haven't eaten it since she died!

Badusha :
Maida : 1 cup
Soda : 1 pinch
Ghee or dalda : 50 gm
Sugar 1 cup
Water : 1/2 cup
Rose essance : some drops
Shredded coconut mixed with orange colour
Mix maida with soda ghee and a bit of water into a soft dough with your finger tips (it is important to have it soft) and make round balls, flatten the balls and make a press the centre with one finger. fry the patties the both sides in medium oil until they are light brown (badusha colour) take your time the fire should not be high, it would take atleast 15 min to fry the both sides, take out and put on an absorbing paper to take away excess oil.
At the same time make you sugar syrup with te sugar and water to kambi pagu consistancy. dip the badushas in the sugar syrup for 2 minutes and the arrange them in a platter. Put the colored, shredded coconut on the badusha hole.

Dear Nov,
Today I tried and did a superb small container of moonthiri kothu!!
Was afraid I might blow it though, and of course I had a helper too. But she told me, never to ask for help again next year, Pa!! Too much work and nervous energy at work as we were not sure when to add the green gram flour!! But boy, there was so much of stirring as we carefully added the flour and watched it harden.
Well, in nostalgic poignancy, I ate my first few sithu oorandai, and remembered my mum and a much younger me, helping her to knead those small balls, in the wee hours of the night!! And yes, I shed a few tears, as I had not tasted them since 1977 - the year Mother died!
So, like the Kasaundy stirring story-teller in Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for the sweet memories of long gone Deepavalis, from the dustry recess of my own dabba of past rememberance!!
