Handi Kevum and Pethi Kevum both refer to the same Kevum. Kevum is called Oil Cakes and is enjoyed during traditional ceremonies, festivals and celebrations.
This is the easiest way to make Kevum quickly when time is not on your side. This recipe uses Jaggery and Milk. Coconut milk or dairy milk both work great.
