Deepavali is a very important festival in india. Everyone
will be having therir own memories about deepavali. In tamil nadu, we make a
lot of sweets and savouries for diwali. For diwali the first thing comes to our
mind is new dresses ,palagarams and crackers. Yes., actually in our house for
diwali only we will wear new dresses apart from birthday.
On thinking of the sweets and savouries for diwali,
few snacks are must to prepare in our house, like thenkuzhal(thenthalai),
Magizhambu(Magalambu), pakoda, rava urundai/payathamparuppu urundai, Getti
urundai.
My mom will definitely make this payatham paruppu
urudai(moong dhal laddu) or rava urundai along with getting uundai, That too
not in small quantities, because for diwali we have to give the palagarams to
the people working in our farm. So every thing will be prepared in large quantities.
That too by my mom alone. Sometimes for making this laddus(urundai) my neighbour
paati(grand mother) will help. Sweet memories those are !!!! :)
For this year diwali, I planned a lot of recipes to
post, but as I am busy now it is very difficult to get time to shoot and post. I am
really trying my best to post some decent number of recipes, let seeJ
Ok ,m now coming to the todays recipe, Payatham
paruppu urundai/Nei urundai(Moong dhal laddu) is really a flavourful ,
scrumptious, healthy laddu(urundai) which we can make in very less time.
While making in large quantities (above ½ kilograms)
you can grind the dhal and sugar in mill. We generally grind the sugar in large
quantities in mill commonly for all sweets. Moong dhal will be powdered separately and then we mix while preparing
the laddus.
For smaller quantities our mixer grinder itself is
enough.
I have already posted Oats Laddu, here in my blog, please check the below link for the recipe if you are interested.
OK, now let’s move on to this recipe.
