Rangoli of the day
When one celebrates, its with loved ones
So open your mind beyond the box and see Radha & Krishna in their glorious colours of love
Gayatri Mantra is chanted to
"illuminate/enlighten/ stimulate/inspire/guide/direct our intellect in the right direction"...
The benefits are "clarity of thought" and "clear cut decision making" etc......
Though a lotus flower in spirituality symbolises purity, beauty, fertility and peace, it also symbolises wisdom and knowledge(Gyaan).........hence thought of putting a lotus flower kolam on "Gayatri Japam" day

Dear freinds as mentioned the answer for this guess 9 is idliwich the brand name given to earlier fried idli by our darling lataji .I wanted to experiment real idliwich and tell u frankly my daughters told me that it looks and taste is yammy and though they had gone out and had snacks still they enjoyed this .Please try ur children or husband may like it .
Toasted Idliwich
Ingredients:
Idli dough
Green coriander/pirai chutney :(as mentioned earlier in coriander chutney only we should delete the pirai from pirai chutney rest of the ingredients will remain the same )
Tomatoes..2
Kakdi(kukumber) ..2
Onion ...2
Method:
Take kadai and put one -two teaspoonful of cooking oil spread it and pour one big tablespoonful of idli dough spread it (it should be thicker than dosa and thinner than uttapam )keep it in low flame with a lid .Once the upper surface becomes dry spread chutney evenly .now put the round thin slices of tomatoes ,kakdi and onion and if u want put sandwich masala but i have put another layer of green chutney on it .now spread one more tablespoonful of idli dough on it and keep in low flame for another 5-7minutes til the upper layer becomes dry .now put little oil from all the side and revert it and keep it for another 5 minutes .now u can remove this idliwich the cover becomes very crispy .Although have taken the picture of each stage i am uploading with 3 steps for u .if u want I can upload each steps .
Please don’t laugh and enjoy the hot idliwich with tomatoes sauce or alone .All the best and happy Dasera

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My uncle performs pujas during navaratri days very strictly, by arranging homas and all. A couple of years back he did the same and few of devotees from neighbourhood captured the pictures of the Goddess arrangement done in his house. So after clicking the pic they realized that the flame has taken the shape of goddesses. Even I felt the same and wanted to share here. Let me know your views. I have uploaded the original pics also the pics which are edited to show which goddess am able to see in the picture. |
