Karthigai Pori is a traditional snack from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, often enjoyed during the festival of Karthigai Deepam. It is made from puffed rice, jaggery, and a mix of nuts and seeds, creating a sweet and crunchy treat. The preparation involves heating jaggery with water until it reaches a syrupy consistency, then mixing in the puffed rice and nuts. This snack is not only popular during festivals but is also a favorite among families for its delightful taste and texture. Karthigai Pori is often offered as a prasad in temples and is cherished for its simplicity and wholesome ingredients.
