Thenkol

Thenkol is one of the iyengar salt savory no spicy at all. Made only during special occassions and festivals. Thenkol is best to have as a snack with coffee , and some of the iyengar's (our community) soak it in coffee too (especially my husband ), and also with payasam (kheer - sweet dish) . The base for this is the Thenkol maav (powder). Once this is correct everything falls into place. Earlier my grandmother used to do this at home itself. My mom says this is a very tedious process. It should be done in a very proper way, Blackgram soaked , dried and fried etc., I will head directly to list the ingredients and method.
