    Hi,
    Margazhi and pongal are the seasons we draw 'maavu kolams'. Instead of grinding raw rice every time for kolam , here is the method to keep it ready made and could be used for even two years and more.

    METHOD:
    Soak required amount of raw rice. Grind it in to fine, thick paste in the grinder. If it is little watery leave it aside for an hour. Discard the clear water standing on the top of the ground rice flour. Pour it in wide plate and dry it fully in the sun (some times it might even take 4 to 5 days) till the flour crackles. when fully dried(there should not be no water content) store the crackled bits of ground rice flour in air tight containers.

    when you need to make mavu kolam , mix required amount of rice flour crackles in water. You can draw kolams immediately. It is very handy in pooja room.
