All the stores and markets will be piled up with sweets, and one think which I noticed, apart from Indian sweets, you see a lot of Vermicilli in use(the thinnest of the lot) .
.
I remember, my previous manager, Dr. Ward, who was a Briton, trying to explain to a guest who was also from UK, about Arabic sweets, and calling them "sugar-strands!!".
.
Apart from the regular use of Vermicilli in Kerala as in Semiya payasam, or Uppma....their use was very much limited, till I came to see all these sweets over here.
.
So, this is one such ***** I prepared, with the sole aim of using Wards' so called "sugar strands",which I had purchased not knowing exactly what to do with it, except the determination that it will not end up in a bowl of milk as Payasam!
