Kadalai Paruppu Sweet Kosumalli is a very traditional sweet kosumalli served in weddings and functions. I always adore and love to eat the different variety of sweet and spicy dishes that they serve in a wedding.
One of the reasons I love going to weddings, apart from the dressing up part is the food. The flavors are so different in a kalyana saapadu that I fail to get anywhere else.
This kosumalli is very simple to make and adds protein to the meal. It is mildly sweet and I would recommend that we include one such protein source with all our meals. The quantity of sugar can be adjusted based on one’s liking.
I have made it medium sweet here. When asking my mother about a kosumalli recipe for the Tamil Nadu Special Virundhunar Saapadu series, she gave me the recipe.
My patti was also with amma and she right away suggested that I make it. This recipe is a part of my Tamil Nadu special Virundhunar Saapadu! Do make sure to see my complete set up and lunch idea.
