    Thanks for the recipe Krishnaamma. Especially Poha chivda. I was thinking of that one and I got your recipe here :)

    Can you also post some other snack ideas? Since I dont have muruku acchu and all, nothing over here. Anything that can be prepared without the use of these utensils?

    Also, I am thinking of the following sweets for Diwali:

    1. Coconut Barfi (Can you post recipe for this)
    2. Rasgullas (to try, as they havent come out proper). If not, then gulab jamuns.

    Hi Pavithra,

    I have already gave one recipe for coconut burfi. For gulab jamuns, do you get golab jamun mix there?

    for savories, you can make 'kara boondi' by using 'holed karandi' or 'rice vadi thattu':idea:

    Yes krishnaamma gulab jamun mix we do get here. That I have made two-3 times. It comes out good. So was thinking if Rasgullas come out ok, :) else will settle for gulab jamuns only.

    That was a nice idea for kara boondhi. Yes I do have that karandi with holes in it...

    Thank you

    Hello M'am,

    Just now I came across your Deepavali savouries. In that for chivda you have told it to roast in Microwave. Pl. tell what temperature should be set in MW for this.
