Aadi Thengai Paal

     Aadi is the 4th Month of the Tamil Calendar, Aadi is very auspicious for the Ammans. Aadi Month has many festival days including
aadi pirappi - First day of Aadi
aadi perukku/18 - Peak of Aadi (18th day of Aadi month)
aadi velli - Aadi Friday
aadi cevvai - Aadi Tuesday
aadi amavasai - Aadi New Moon day
aadi pooram – Full Moon day of Aadi
                  
     This year, Aadi pirappu is coinciding with Aadi Velli (Friday) also, making it all the more auspicious. 

     There are many special recipes for the Aadi festivals. Today I am providing the aadi Thangai Paal (Coconut Milk) Recipe.
