Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw rice
  • ¼ cup sago
  • 4 cups water
  • 3 green chilli
  • 1 teaspoon jeera
  • ¼ teaspoon roasted jeera powder
  • salt to taste

Notes

  • Cooking batter – Keep the flame low when cooking rice batter, keep stirring else lumps will form. I usually stand near and keep mixing.
  • Drying – Sun drying is very important, I have dried for 2 full days and it turned crispy. If the sun is less, dry for more days.
  • Testing – Always test fry 1 vadam before storing. If it is chewy, it means not dried enough. Keep it back for more drying.
  • Oil heat – Oil should be really hot. I drop one vadam to test, if it raises immediately then the oil is ready.
  • Storing – Store in clean airtight jar after vadams are fully dry and fried ones are cooled. This keeps them fresh longer.
