Deepavali Marundu
( To be eaten first thing in the morning )

Ingredients

1 cup omam ( ajwain )
15 small twigs of khanda thipli
1/2 cup coriander powder
1/2 cup jeera ( cumin ) powder
1/2 cup pepper powder
1 small piece of chukku ( dried ginger )
4 cardamoms
A little maze, nutmeg and few badam ( almonds ) and cloves
1 1/2 cups jaggery
1 tablespoon ghee

Method

For the powder:

Roast lightly the omam, khanda thipli, chukku, cardamom, nutmeg, maze, almond and cloves. Grind into a fine powder and mix with coriander powder, jeera powder and pepepr powder.

Final preparation:

Make a syrup with the jaggery and filter to remove the dirt ( that?s very important ). Then, on a low heat, add the powder and mix well to ensure it is lump free. As the color changes to black add ghee and remove from the heat.

Tips : The skin of the chukku ( dried ginger ) should be removed as it is considered poisonous.

The final product not be stored in a metal container as some of the herbs react to metal. Porcelain or glass is preferred .
