Today again it is the same time around to celebrate the opening of dams all around south india,http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IgFfW3xPTg8/SbF0QmKoe5I/AAAAAAAAAmE/uadnw39IMxs/s320/Chitrannam+1.jpg
Yes it is aadiperukku:
We usually do different rice like tamarind rice, lemon rice, sweet coconut rice, salt coconut rice and dahi rice, make a avail the mixed veggy with curd in it. And some fried papad items, what with rain all over and fertile look of greenery this only brings back memories of coming together and my mother taking the trouble to mix the tamarind rice and other mixed rices and all having a go at it,
So this time around I am in pune in my elder daughter’s house and all the mixes are ready all I have to cook is avail and mix all the mixes with hot hot rice which I would be preparing so sakhis what is your festival during this month would love to know about it…..sunkan

[lalitasat1]

beauty of India is festival celebrations and food. Some people have tried to become so called modern and forget festivals but festivals are mean to relax. sunkan, it is so nice of you to celebrate festivals and cook authentic meal.

[sunkan]

dear lalita,
life in itself is colorful only when we make it, alittle bit of attention and one can make a memorable festival with simple authentic food, one all would remmember what to be made on that day, second they all look forward that particular item should be there, none expect a okkarai on a pongal day kind
