After consuming high calorie food items during and after diwali, I was down with "hate food syndrome" because of various sweets and savories. Too much of oily items entered my body and made me to feel uncomfortable.
Then came the panecea in the form of " deepavali marundhu". This is usually taken on the day of deepavali itself. Once upon a time, every household prepared this " marundhu" along with other special preparations for the festival.
Times have changed. We live in a " very focussed" world. Hence, we buy it at shops. The some of the ingredients used in this marundhu is also used in preparing "pilla peththa legyium" a kind of sauce, given, after the delivery of child, to the mother.
