Due to COVID-19 outbreak, we're holding off everything usual on our lives, including awurudu festivities. Awurdu is an islandwide celebration, that involves quite a bit of interesting sweetmeats, auspicious times, fireworks and shopping, while spreading a lot of smiles and happiness.
But this time around, you won't be able to go all big on these festivities, but it doesn't mean that you cannot have a mellow celebration with your loved ones at home. After all, you need to appreciate the small things in life, like the fact you get to be with your family, amid these hard times.
You can do it with just some kiributh, as whipping up kevili this year is a bit tricky. It's not quite possible to shop for ingredients these days, especially with the ongoing curfews.
Therefore, if you really want some kevili on your table, check out this list of places that undertake kevili orders.
