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.  I will head directly to list the ingredients and method.
