Maa vilakku (Rice flour Lamp in English) is a must and should neivedyam recipe in all our households for karthigai deepam.My mom and mil makes different offerings to God for karthigai deepam but offering maavilakku maavu is a common practice for both of them.Not only for karthigai deepam , we make it during tamil month aadi ,thai and purattasi sani.Actually maavilakku maavu(Edible rice flour lamp) has to be made by mixing jaggery with home made wet rice flour. My MIL follows this procedure. But my mom makes it very simple using store bought rice flour. It can be done in minutes.Though i follow my mil’s procedure, i thought of sharing my mom’s easy version first in my blog.I have shared some tips and tricks from my mom to make a perfectly shaped maavilakku without losing its shape.For people who are not able to soak and grind the raw rice, this version would be useful.Do try this easy maavilakku maavu recipe and let me know your feedback.
I wish u all a very happy karthigai deepam, enjoy the festival of lights

ReplyDeleteHai,
ReplyDeleteYour vilakku looks awesome. I need one clarification.
have you joied 2 wicks together?
Does it matter if the end part which is inside the vilakku separates?
Thanks,
Anitha veeravendhan
Hi Anitha,It doesn't happen.Its just a single thread.Even if u join,u should roll it tightly so that it won't separate :)
