  1. Mr.Durai,
    You can skip the egg and chicken or just the chicken alone in the recipe , if you do not like Chicken Kothu Parota.
    If you like Vegetable Kothu Parota, replace chicke nad egg with carrot cabbage and capsicum.

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.

She promised to the God that, when she proves her innocence, she will make the number of threads she has on that day as

Wheat flour - 2 cups, leveled ( I used the normal wheat flour, that I use to make chapathi at home) Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp Whole Milk - 6 tbsp + 2 tbsp + a little for brushing at the end Water - 6 tbsp Sugar - 1 tbsp ( I did not use powdered sugar) Yogurt - 1/4 cup, nicely beaten (I used homemade thick and creamy

Then drain the water and spread it on a paper towel or white cloth and let it dry for 20 minutes. Now, the when the rice is still wet, grind it in a mixie , into a powder. Sieve it and collect the coarse powder and grind it again and seive it. Repeat this until very less coarse powder is left.                                     In a pan, put the jaggery and add 2 tbsp of water and heat it until the jaggery dissolves completely. Now, sieve it in a tea strainer and collect the jaggery syrup. It should neither be too thick nor too thin.
