Goan Vodde/Odde | Sweet Puris | Christmas Specials

"Vodde kelai go" was a common question that went around the neighborhood during the early advent season. It translates to “Have you prepared Vodde?” Vodde (or Odde; the dd has to roll off the tongue) are sweet flat deep-fried breads prepared with Coconut Milk and Flour. The are a regular Goan Christmas sweet — more of a snack— that can be eaten at nat time of the day. My mother made huge numbers of these that lasted weeks inspite of my siblings and I eating them daily for breakfast with a dip in Black tea. You'll see a Rice Wafer Plate at the end. That's another memory of Christmas Kuswar I cherish: heaping sweets onto the wafer plate and giving them to our neighbours. Delightful, blessed Christmases, both, then and now :) Mog Asum ❤️
