delicious home-made mixture. i remember amma preparing each ingredient ahead and mixing them when we are away at school:) i used to fight with her when she asked me for help to fetch some newspapers to drain the prepared snacks and once cooled stack them in boxes. now how much i regret all that and miss the festive season with family!
