On the full moon festival, the village women would come together to make Aasmi. They mixed rice flour and coconut milk to create a smooth batter, which was then fried into delicate, lace-like patterns. After frying, the golden, crispy pieces were soaked in sweet syrup, making them melt in your mouth. The treats symbolized purity, and the women felt proud of the tradition that had been passed down through generations. Aasmi was more than just food; it was a symbol of unity and celebration.
