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.   ...

Laddu recipes with almost no cooking

This recipe does not need the use of gas stove.  Only roasting of some ingredients is done.  So, it may be considered as a recipe with no cooking.  So, we can make it quickly and easily.

  We can make it as a quick and easy sweet for Diwali.  These days for all women, working and homemakers, time is a premium. 

 Still making Deepavali bakshanam at home gives us a lot of satisfaction.  With nuclear families being the order of the day, we do not have the benefits of joint families when all the ladies in the house used to involve in making sweets and savouries for various festivals.
