Deepavali Valthukal
That’s Happy Deepavali in Tamil. If it’s not accurate let me know ya, because I Google that up 
It’s Deepavali again. Time for muruku!
The neighbors invited us for their open house lunch. Their nasi tomato with curry chicken and mutton and fried chicken with onion were sitting heavily in my stomach when I went for belly dance practice after that.
No pictures of all that delicous food to share. I really wanted to snap a few pics but Mom wouldn’t let me, saying that it’s rude.So you guys are just gonna have to trust me that they were nothing short of spectacular.
I asked my neighbor how she always got her curry so thick. Coconut milk?
More than that! In addition, she’s also got condensed milk, blended almonds and hazel nuts and other spices all blended in it, thus giving it that thick consistency.
Sigh…so much work for the perfect curry.
These are what’s left of the cookies that they gave us. The containers were very much fuller when we got them. Most of them are now in my tummy 
I just can’t get enough of their murukus. The smell of spices are not as overwhelming as the store bought ones and I just love the lovely aroma of butter.
There was also a few pieces of moist chocolate cakes and pineapple tarts. Haven’t tried the honeycomb biscuits yet, though. Never been a fan of them.
So again, Happy Deepavali, peeps!
