Good Morning!
A simple wet rice flour kolam. Padi Kolam can be drawn by wet rice flour & dry kolam podi / Rangoli powder.
To make wet rice flour- soak raw rice for 2-3 hrs. Strain the water, add to mixie jar grind to a smooth paste. Add little water while grinding. It should be smooth paste. Remove the wet rice paste in a small bowl. Wash the mixie jar with little water, pour the water it the grinded paste, mix well. You may add little more water to adjust the consistency. Take a small piece of cotton cloth / cotton dip in the wet rice flour paste, slightly squize with your thumb, index finger, middle finger and ring finger. Start drawing kolam.
Kaavi / kempu powder :
Take 2 tsp of red / kaavi mix with equal amount of water. Use a small cloth slightly squize and draw the borders. You may use old toothbrush to draw the kaavi.
Notes:
* If the consistency of the wet rice flour is very thin you can add little maida/ corn flour mix well draw the Kolam.
Corn flour/ maida/ all pourpose flour when mixed with wet rice flour gives a bright white colour.

Padi Kolam ( Aadi Perukku)
Happy Aadi Perukku to all!
Aadi Perukku is celebrated in the 18th day of Aadi Maasam (4th month of Tamil Calendar). A celebration of onset of monsoon season. We pray to river Kaveri or the Mother Nature as Ambal (Goddess) to provide a good rainfall during this season.
On this day we draw wet rice flour kolams / Rangolis with a touch of kaavi / kempu powder.
