We used to call them as 'Panchadhara Chilakalu'. During festivals/holidays we used to visit our cousins in village. We used to bring these chilakalu home and used to have competition among our siblings that who can preserve it long without eating. Sometimes we used to eat tiny bits of it as we couldn't control. It is many years since I have seen them. Thanks for posting such nice pictures and bringing our memories back. By the way which part of India are you from? Hi ..

I miss them. I made noogulu mixture and was missing chakkara acchulu with them. Those pics made me more nostalgic. It would be very nice of you if you can give us the recipe to make those acchulu. I faintly remember how mom used to do it. wow..Indira. I miss them. I made noogulu mixture and was missing chakkara acchulu with them. Those pics made me more nostalgic.

I hail from Bengal, where they are called by the most popular shape, the 'mutth' (temple or house of religious retreat/training). But I also recall little chariots and chhatris (not seen those in many years), as well as little dolls. The pheasant/peacock I think was the second most popular shape. And I remember a single vermillion horse...! Ooooh, those are just calling out for some freshly roasted ‘khoi’, straight out of the big sand-filled kadhai I remember from childhood…

You are so deep into anything you do I really admire each and every article of yours. For Sankranthi we make the achulu sugar models. I remember my mom used to make this. I am a Kannadiga from Bombay but now in Singapore. Each and every recipe of yours is great. Thanks a ton for the good dishes you have given us. A very Happy Pongal to you and your family.
