Traditional sugary food items.
Contexto cultural
The 'Seer Bakshanam' tradition involves the bride's family sending odd-numbered quantities (like 51 or 101) of sweets to the groom's family. In Sri Lanka, 'Palagaram' often refers specifically to deep-fried items like 'Kavum' or 'Kokis' served during the New Year. The diaspora often mixes traditional Tamil sweets with local Malay 'Kuih', but still uses the term 'Inippu Palagaram' for the Indian varieties. Making 'Inippu Palagaram' at home is a way for families in the West to connect their children to their heritage.
