Happy gokulashtami!

        Today is the birthday of lord krishna. It is a happy time for all the kids. My happiest food memories as a kid was gokulashtami & diwali. All my aunts and chittis join together to prepare the goodies. As a kid i would watch eagerly what they prepare. Pedatha was a great inspiration for all of us. After chechu was born gokulashtami was very special festivalfor me. Chechu was always the first to taste the sweets and snacks prepared at home After the pooja.( sometimes before too :))!
         This year it is special for me as there is one more special addition in our family, our little aadhu. Chechu and aadhu made this occasion special for me.
Today i prepared rice kheer, fried gram ladoo, sweet seedai, thirattupal, murukku and buttermurukku. Ladoo is chechu's all time favourite. This year it is aadhu's too!
