Only in summer we can make vatrals/vadams/pappad. Here i gave the method to make javvarisi/jawarisi/sabudana/tapiaco vathal. It takes only little time to prepare. But you can enjoy through out the year.
Vathal/vadam/vatral
| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Javarisi |
| 3 nos | Green chilli |
| 1 tsp | Cumin seeds |
| ½ tsp | Asafoetida |
| Salt(as per taste) | |
| Plastic sheet or cotton cloth(to dry vathal) |
Instructions
Soak javarisi in water for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes grind javarisi with g.chillies, asafoetida, cumin seeds and salt for 1 minute.
Boil 1/2 cup of water in kadai. When the water stars to boil add ground javarisi and mix quickly. Stir continously till all the water is absorbed by javarisi(like thick kanji/porridge/gruel). It takes only 5 to 8 minutes. Switch off. Let it to cool for 15 minutes.
In patio or balcony(wherever you get the sun)spread a big plastic sheet or cotton cloth. Bring the cooked javarisi, take 1 tsp from that and spread into thin circle. Let it to dry till evening. Keep it in the sun the following day. The second day evening you can remove the vathal from sheet or cloth. Keep the removed vathals in the sun on third day. If it's very hot summer 3 days are enough to dry.
After dried store in the container. Deep fry whenever you want.

Kavi's Javarisi Vathal.. my last weekend project. These dried out perfect, took about 6 days as I couldn't get bright sunshine in my apartment window. Still managed to dry and turned into white fluffy lillies when fried.. and there was crunch and munch echos. Thanks a bunch to Kavi for sharing such a great recipe which many would never dare to attempt.
Thanks a lot Mullai…You made my day.
Kavi, breakla I tried ur varthal. Still in drying process, will upload here tomorrow. Just a small doubts, tried mine with pearl javarisi but color of it looks grey after drying. Your varthal looks light yello, did u use any colour??
Oh Mullai, just saw the msg…. No Mullai, i didn't use any color, i used only green chilli (5)…so the vatral was very hot in taste….so while posting the recipe i reduced the g.chili amount…thats it.
Guess it might be the green chili, mine were tiny ones. Anyway fine, it came out well Kavi, oray mazhai here.. will upload when I get a break today. thanks.
