Significance of Pillayar Nonbu

Pillayar nombu is a nombu celebrated exclusively by Naattukkottai Nagarathars. This post is intended for young chettiar couples living far from their families, who want to know about this nonbu and celebrate it at home. The significance of performing this nombu, is that we pray to Lord Ganesha, requesting him to remove all the obstacles in our life.  I have heard that there are 3 versions of the story behind this nonbu. I am sharing the one that my mom has told me... A teenage girl was ill-treated by her step-mother. On karthigai deepam day, this step-mother's diamond ring was missing and she accused this girl of stealing her ring. This girl went to a pillayar temple and prayed to Lord Ganesha that she will prove herself as innocent and find the ring. So she started saying her prayers to Lord Ganesha, by removing one thread a day from her cotton saree for 21 days. She promised to the God that, when she proves her innocence, she will make the number of threads she has on that day as...

Thirunelveli Halwa with oat milk/ திருநெல்வேலி அல்வா ஒரு மாற்றத்துடன்

                                             Hello all,  Wishing you all very Happy Deepavali/ Diwali in advance! Let's begin this Diwali season with a sweet recipe. The city of Thirunelveli in Tamil Nadu is well-known for its specialty sweet "Thirunelveli Halwa", not only that, there is a famous dialogue that says "Thirunelvelikke Halwa waaa"!  There was an article written by Kalwyna Rathod in Femina.in , published on July 27, 2021. It was about the different types of wheat and its qualities, very well explained. You can read the article to gain more knowledge about wheat.  The halwa is typically made with sambaa godhumai, a  premium variety of whole wheat grain. The grain is soaked overnight, then ground to a thick paste and then milk is extracted from this pulp, by filtering it.   I have used the quick cooking steel cut oats instead of whea...
