Servings1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw rice heaped
- 1/4 cup sago
- 4 cups water
- 3 green chilli
- 1 teaspoon jeera
- 1/4 teaspoon roasted jeera powder
- salt to taste
Notes
- After cooling down it gets thick, so switch off accordingly.
- You can use a plain white cloth or plastic sheet for drying the vadams.
- Keep the flame in low, add the rice mixture and keep stirring to avoid lumps.
- You can test fry 1 or 2 vadams and check…After deep frying if its crispy fully then the vadams are done you can store in airtight container. If it sticks in between your teeth and is chewy then it needs more drying. Dry for few more days in hot sun.
- Oil should be hot, test one vadam if it comes up(raises) immediately after its dropped then its the right heat you need.
- It took me 2 days for the vadams to dry completely, it depends on the amount of sunlight you get.
- If you are drying it in terrace then it will get dried in a day itself.
- As I am doing it for the first time I made only little not in bulk.
