Theduka recipe

Theduka is a authentic long forgotten recipe of Kerala. My mum used to make with quite often when we kids and we used to much like as we didn't getavny food to eat the whole day . Some times she would drizzle some sugar syrup on it to make its sweet savoury snack . Why is it  called theduka ...no idea But it is very relaxing snack. We have it after lunch just to snack on it as my husband loves to have mixture after lunch ...I feel it's an awkward desire to have something like that. He always brings a lot of savoury snacks to munch on after lunch which I think is totally unhealthy too. 

Theduka recipe is very easy and munchy recipe . It is usually made for occasions like marriages and seasons like Diwali. A sit is a must store recipe , something I don't want it let go I am posting this recipe ...There are many forgotten indian snacks ,many of which is so funny to recognize or even spell the word accurately. When our grannies get together it is that possible time I get to catch up on some recipes of theirs . There are two oldies who are so stubborn to share their precious recipes with me . As they say it will be adulterated with new ingredients and the new generation will spoil the whole food. I smile at such talks. We have a couple of old ladies at home grandmas aunties and few distant relatives who join for tea once in a while. They share teenage thoughts and school days of yester years and how they brought their snacks to husband's home to as a token of love  for the in laws to keep. This snack is distributed amongst all the possible friends and relatives and many nearby neighbors . So we have that tradtion  still going on . I never give up such gatherings a sit is that tinkle of time that I personally get some really good ones from these people. Theduka as this is an awkward name for a simple recipe with very few ingredients , is a much loved snack for kids and especially we are munchers like me ,who love to to munch on everything that I can get my hands on.um makes a lot of these and carry it along  while visiting grandpa ...he would put on his false teeth and munch along . Faiz loves this very much and I would pack it along with some fruits and vegetables and he would always love to share it with friends so I pack a little more for his tiffin's to school. Now off to the recipe..
