BOTTLE GUARD HALWA
HI All,
Happy Tamil New Year'2010. Wait wait.. don't shout at me I know its belated yet Was not able to post the recipes that I prepared for new year.
Official work was really tiring and this point of time all at home yelled at me for doing these sweets and vada to celebrate the festival. As its our main festival (for hindu's and for tamilian's especially), I couldnt stay back and sit idle without doing anything. SO this will be my last festival as two people (my hubby and me)..
Finally was able to make up with one sweet and one kara and performed pooja peacefully.
Here is the recipe:
