Ukkarai is a Chettinad special sweet made for Diwali.This ukkarai / okkarai is made even during Navratri and Karthigai Deepam in different parts of the city. I  wanted to post this last Diwali itself but somehow got missed.Amma makes this ukkarai sweet often as its easy to make and healthy too as it uses very less ghee but ammas version is slightly different, so I referred my Chettinad cookbook for the method and used ammas measures.

Expert Tips

The orginal recipe asked to check for single string consistency but I just heated the syrup till it was thick. Keeps well for 2 days atleast when refrigerated.
