Dear friends, I had to attend a close relatives 16th day prayers.
It is a trend in Malaysia to take either fruits, flowers or cooked food.
My relative requested me to bring some cooked food.
She said she does not want the normal fare which every one brings.
Like kesari, curry puffs, fried meehoon, vadai, pulut or jelly.

She wanted, kuli paniyaram with tomato chutney,
Mysore bonda with onion sambal, custard slices and pacha payir urundai.
Here is the small spread. Kugan

You are right Kuganka, in Malaysia we have to take food, fruits or flowers to the 16 th day prayer house.
I usually will take fruits to avoid all the hassle of making food. You are good, made so many types.
Thanks for the nice recipes, I will try the puli curry tomorrow. Please post the Mysore bonda recipe.
Lets see how it will taste like.

Thanks Suvai for your nice post.
Glad that you liked the ellu rice, it is o.k give your friends the recipe.
Let every one enjoy.
Glad also you liked the onion tamarind mix, at times we need something tangy to go with food.

Suvai pachai payir urundai is an old fashioned palagaram
I remember eating the stuffing and throwing away the skin when I was a child.
I will post soon the recipe for you.
Thanks and take care, Kugan.
