 MADRAS MOTA MIXTURE.....

A wonderful recipe of my mom and sister!!!! and with this great recipe, wishing you all a very very Happy and Bright Deepavali!!!!

Dont know how I forgot to post this all these days...for everything the right time has to come, I guess!!

I have already posted Aval mixture and Cornflakes mixture.

Mixture is a definite symbol of Unity...like various natured people living under one roof, different shaped pieces...but basic dough is the same...are mixed together. Obviously we cannot pair the urad flour added Thenkuzhal and Omam added Omapodi...My mom and sister always used to say, Mixture making is quite easy...if there are a few helping hands...But I did with just my 2 hands😇😇
