This is one of the most important and traditional recipe on Thiru Karthigai. As per the locality, the recipes for this festival alone differ all over Tamilnadu. Mean while born and brought up in thoothukudi, after marriage has been entered to Sivakasi, I use to follow both the places tradition. This roasted gram ladoo and roasted peanut ladoo are the important and coming to Thoothukudi – “kozhukattai (Dumpling) are most famous, that to here the riceflour with sugar and some spices are filled in the palm leaf and steamed. As I don’t get this palm leaf here in Bangalore, I am continuing with these ladoo’s.
