Kara sihi Avalakki

We celebrated Krishna Janmaashtami today. Over the weekend we'd prepared yummy snacks, from which we'd to restrain ourselves with great difficulty :). On the festival day we offer Poha/avalakki along with the snacks to Lord Krishna. I tried making the kara & sihi (sweet) poha. Krishna loves poha. I remember the story of Sudama.
