Hi Laxmi,
Deepavali brings to mind ukkarai and wheat halwa. That is what my mother makes always. Mixer in savoury. These were made in large quantities. i remember that there used to be a large uruli ( a shallow heavy vessel of Kerala), which is kept on a old aduppu and mother sitting on a small stool and makign the halwa. it used to take nearly half a day or her to finish tht. Also another 2 days to make mixer, it had to be 2 or 3 tins of that. Ukkarai also in large quantity. We all used to take them to school the next day, Keralites do not have Deepavali celebrations.
