Tips to make a perfect Avil vadam | Avalakki vadiyalu
[/cz_title][cz_gap height=”25px”][cz_title id=”cz_80922″ cz_title=””]
Soak the flattened rice for just 10 minutes. Do not over soak.
2. Strain the excess water throughly for 30 minutes. The hydrated poha/flattened rice should be soft and fluffy but not holding moisture.
3. Adding onions is optional.
4. You can grind the chilli with the sour curd and add it to the mixture instead of adding it directly.
5. I stay in a hot place, So the vadams are ready to fry in two days. Dry it for another day if you feel there is moisture
6. When the vadam is fried, if it is chewy and not crispy sun dry it for another day as it is moist.
7. The vadam absorbs less oil when it does not contain moisture. So strain off any excess water when the poha is drained. Dry well.
