Tips on how to make the Maa Vilakku or the Rice flour lights.

Hi there It's me Shakthi Sathyanarayana.
Im going to teach you a very simple way to make the Maa Vilakku.
The original way is by using rice and grinding it then you add a little bit of Ghee to the flour and make it like a dough by adding a bit of hot water and brown sugar.
This is offered to Ambal then after the light is no longer burning then they offer this as a prasadham to people and it is very special as it can cure diseases and people with no children will have and all your sorrows will vanish.

The second method is by using the ready made rice flour and by adding a bit of ghee and also a bit of tumeric powder or even kungumam for its colour. Then make it in the shape of a light. You can either burn it like that or steam the vilakku.

The yellow maa vilakku is usually for men and the red is for women and it is said that plain white is for widows but nowadays its not the colour that matters but the colour of your heart that ammbal see.

Try it out this Month of Aadi.

With lots of love.
