Thai Ammavasai
"Thai Amavasai" refers to the new moon day (Amavasai) that falls during the Tamil month of Thai. Thai is the tenth month in the Tamil calendar and typically spans from mid-January to mid-February in the Gregorian calendar. Like other Amavasai days in the Tamil calendar, Thai Amavasai is considered significant in terms of religious and spiritual observances. During this time, people may engage in rituals and ceremonies, including offerings and prayers to honor their ancestors and seek blessings for the well-being of their families.
Makhane ki Kheer
Makhana ki Kheer is a luscious and indulgent dessert that captivates the palate with its rich, creamy texture and delightful flavors. This traditional Indian sweet incorporates the unique and wholesome ingredient known as makhana, also referred to as foxnuts or lotus seeds.
The preparation begins with gently roasting the makhana in a touch of ghee until it achieves a light golden hue. This step enhances the nutty aroma and brings out the inherent crunchiness of the makhana. Care is taken to roast them over a low flame to prevent quick browning.
