Probably there would have been differences based on classical (!) explanations in the past but today kolams can also be colourful like rangolis both in the free hand and dots type  I find that even the terms rangoli kolam and kolam rangoli are used at  present. The only area where I think kolam are different are in sikku kolam and arisi maavu kolam. Both are beautiful, challenging and can be intricate . Rangoli is muggulu in Telugu and so this post will be useful for those in search of small and simple muggulu for beginners.  This post   may have answers  kutty rangoli /kolam designs The rangoli in the image below is one of the basic designs that can be used for learning.   Form a star with two inverted triangles.   ...

Javvarisi upma eppadi seivathu

Sabudana khichdi or Sago upma

A simple and easy evening tiffin recipe that is popular in Maharastra is sabudana khichdi or sago khichdi.

Soak sabudana or javvarisi in water such that the water level is just above the sago.  This will ensure that the sago particles are discrete other wise they will stick together.  Let it soak for three to four hours.
  • The other ingredients are , chopped green chillies , finely chopped coriander leaves and finely ground peanut or ground nut powder. 
  •  To saute we use only jeera ( cumin seeds )
  • Take two table spoons of oil in a vessel and when the oil becomes hot add cumin seeds
  • Then add green chillies and saute
  • We can also add finely chopped potato and fry in oil.
  • Add the sabudana and heat till it is completely cooked ( colour changes )
  • Now add the ground powder and mix well 
  • Finally add the chopped coriander leaves.
  • Adding little sugar is optional however add salt to taste
  • A quick  and easy evening tiffin recipe is ready.  
  • Only the time taken for soaking sabudana ( javvarisi ) matters.
