Yawning...I need a break and some rest.

It's almost 4 PM here and my weekend is coming to an end. Time flies faster on weekends
.
It's time for my afternoon nap and I full deserve it. I finished making another home made snacks today after lunch time. Yesterday it was salty and spicy murukku and today I made sweet thekua. You can see it here in picture. It's a popular dish from the state of Bihar. The dough is made with flour, jaggery and ghee. Then we make them into shapes like this and deep fry it.
Now I have enough snacks for few weeks.
It was a bright sunny day so far and now I see clouds covering the sun. Seems like it might rain in a while.
I had a good weekend. Hope everyone had a good weekend too
I am yawning now and unable to open my eyes any long. I should just catch a power nap. See you later

It somewhat look like our "Neyyappam". Neyyappam is a sweet rice-based fritter fried in ghee.It is made of rice flour, jaggery, ghee-fried coconut, ghee, cardamom and milk.
How could you call it a afternoon nap for sleeping at 4pm.It should be called evening nap..

I have tried some on Ranveer Brar's recipe and they are good.
My husband is from Bihar and some traditional tastes do not leave you. I have made this after more than a year. My daughters enjoy it and I can not have them as they are sweet and not good for my sugar levels. But I do take a bite sometimes. It is better than the cookies and other stuff that we get from stores.
I will look for their recipes online and try them. Thanks for your suggestions.

That's it for this week. Next one is a long weekend and I also need to do some special pooja on the coming Monday as it is saawan month. I might make gujiya to offer to God.

You are recovering and your body needs a lot of rest. So, you have to sleep. That is one way of healing.
Good to know that you have the same thing with a different name.

@anil02 Maybe your body needs more rest. Jaggery rice is yummy. But my daughters and husband do not like it much.

Good afternoon. I just had my brief nap and I am now in my shop. Had a good lunch today. It was vegetarian today being new moon day. My daughter and granddaughter are with us for a brief stay. They will return by evening. We always have good time when they are with us.

@arunima25 It has improved a great deal. There are still some cases reported but insignificant and although people move with the mask nobody is bothered about it anymore.

@msdivkar That is good to know. But people should not let down the safety guards. Karnataka and Kerela are not doing that good. After some drop in numbers for few days, cases are increasing again.

Yes, it is a prasad in chhath puja. I had not made it in the last year or more. Also, my husband could not go there in Chhhath due to covid. He was missing it badly.

@marlina We often get that here in Bangalore. Days and weeks go without sun and that is depressing.

You are right about a nap. I call it my battery charger. It is actually very yummy, I can not have them much as it is sweet and I need to watch for my sugar levels. But I am happy that my daughters are enjoying it. It is healthy for children.

I have not been to Chhath puja in the last few years as my children get exams during that time. Husband also could not go last year due to the pandemic and was missing thekua. I had not made it in a long time.
