Kolu keeping me busy and as I said in my previous post, here is one of the sundals I made for Navarathri. Usually I keep kolu only for last 3 days of Navratri. This time, I felt I should keep all 9 days and decided in last minute to keep all 9 days, bit un-planned this time. Aj was this time very helpful in arranging. I made him do a lot of works and Vj too did his part by bringing mango leaves for poorna kumbam and arranging the steps. Next time I should plan ahead and call more friends too. This time called only few friends but I felt very happy when they visited my golu. Though my kolu was only with 3 steps and had only few traditional dolls, I filled most with toys. So bit hesitant about that, but everyone liked the kolu. Below is a glimpse from my kolu.

Pachai pattani sundal is one day’s sundal for which I tried a sundal podi recipe that MIL told to try. It is simple spice powder with only 3 ingredients,  similar flavour as rasam powder. But loved it for a change. You can add channa dal in that and powder too. MIL gave me few sundal ideas, will sure post it in recent future.  I have made pattani sundal only few times. So after long time making this for kolu. Same as other sundal recipes, except for the spice powder.
