Aadi Thulluma/Thulluma Recipe


Thulluma is a delicious healthy and traditional prasadham recipe prepared especially during the auspicious Tamil month of Aadi (July-Aug) in Tamil Nadu. It is one of the simplest and  easiest neivedhanam or Prasad made for Goddess Amman during Aadi.
Traditionally in olden days they used to pound the rice in motor and pestle called Ural in Tamil for this recipe and during the process the rice would jump while pounding which is called thullal in Tamil hence the name Thulluma (thullum maavu) for this recipe.
This Thulluma is served as prasadham along with ragi koozh ( finger millet porridge) in Temples in Tamil Nadu during Aadi.
