Adi Amavasai / Shradham / Devasham Menu


 Aadi Ammavasai lunch : 

Adi Amavasai Padaiyal

 Previous day I pray that I must wake up energized to start the cooking . By His grace everything goes well 

A handy karima podi that I use for Ammavasai and Shradham cooking makes cooking a breeze . 

As certain ingredients are not used , the karima podi is used to flavour all dishes . A bulk tempering prepared first thing when I start cooking , is helpful to temper every dish so individual tempering is not required . 

Seperate tempering for rasam and sambar . All left over tempering  will be used up . 

Shradham meal for Brahmins / Davasam sapadu ЁЯШБ. 

No onion or garlic . I don't add tomato as well.

Moksha Deepam by Sangeetha Saravanan .

 


How To Light A Moksha Deepam

You have to light the moksha Deepam before 6pm or before it gets dark.

Take a large Earthen lamp. 

For making the wick , take a white cotton cloth. Add the following items to the cotton cloth and tie it and make it look like a wick.

The items are 

1. Camphor, zeeragam , paruthi kottai( cotton seeds) ,  rock salt,pepper, nava dhaniya , wheat kernels, thuvarai , green gram ,black sesame seeds ,black urad dhal , horsegram , white mochai and  Channa . Tie in cotton cloth bundle and place it on earthern lamp , pour sesame oil and light . Place it on a banana leaf. Spread navadhaniyam on the leaf and place the lamp and light it.

 It must be placed on higher plane in North East  in front of nandhi . Recite om Nama Shivaya 108 times. Next morning drop all the items in river or sea .


Note: 

The one in the photo is lit by me for my dad in 2021. Its not like what I described above. Its just a large earthern lamp with 1 litre sesame oil and large wick .
