Ellu Chiguli
‘Open Sesame’ is a famous phrase in the movie Alibaba and forty thieves. Yes!! It bursts open when it attains maturity. They are available in two colours -white and black. In Hindu mythology, the black seeds represent Lord Sani(Saturn). They are rich in iron, magnesium and has anti-cancer properties. Adding jaggery to it makes it more rich in iron. They are used to extract oil. Next to ghee, they are more auspicious in lighting lamps. This stuffing can be used in making Ellu Kozhakkattai for Ganesh Chathurthi.Check my other recipes for Vinayagar ChathurthiModhagamThengai pooranamNeyyappam/Unniyappam
