RICE VADAGAM


RICE VADAGAM

Ingredients:
500 grms cooked rice, preferably yesterday’s rice
5 green chillies more if you like
1 tsp cumin seeds
¼ tsp asafetida powder
1 sprig curry leaves (optional)
Salt to taste

Method:
Mix every thing together and blend in a mixie.
Do not add water, if needed sprinkle little.

Spread a clean thick plastic sheet in the sunlight.
Use a murukku press with “one star hole plate.
Fill the ground dough into the press.
Press straight lines on the plastic sheet.
Finish all the dough.

Allow to dry in the hot sun for the whole day.
In the evening you can gather and break into desired lengths.
Dry it for a another day if not fully dried.

Another way is to make a hole in a piece of cloth.
Put in the dough and press dots on the plastic sheet.
Or use your hands to dish out small small rounds.

Note: modern times, I have seen people cooking the rice
flour with water and all the ground ingredients into a kool.
Then they press it on the sheet to dry.
This is how my old folks taught me
