Villaku mavu is made with main ingredients like rice flour,kalai and jaggery.We have a practice of making this villaku for our favorite god on auspicious days like Aadi velli,Aadi kiruthigai and Purattasi sani etc.During the puratassi masam on saturday we  light up the villaku in our home.We all chant venkatesa suprabharatham and like govinda govinda.So here is how my MIL makes it...

INGREDIENTS U NEED:
1.Kalai -2cup(Make smooth powder)
2.Rice flour-1/2cup
3.Jaggery-1/2cup(powdered)
4.Milk-5tbs
5.Wick-2inch length

UTENSIL:
Large Bowl

METHOD OF PREPARATION:
  • In a bowl mix all the ingredients from 1 to 4  well untill thick consistency
  • Just before lighting transfer it into the vessel and make the dough a round ball or square shape and keep inside the vessel.
  • Press the centre of the dough with your thumb. Inside that hole pour half spoon ghee and light the lamp keeping the wick or thread in the middle, Press one end of the thread inside the dough nicely so that the thread stands erect.
