Arisi Vadam | Arisi Vathal | அரிசி வடம் செய்வது எப்படி | அரிசி வத்தல் | koozh vadam is a tasty homemade fryum that’s can be easily prepared with store brought rice flour and javvarisi.

The moment I think about summer Vadam is something that comes to my top of the head. Amma makes javvarisi, Arisi Vadam , vengaya Vadam every year. I love eating Vadam maavu. I do frequent trips to upstairs  to eat Vadam maavu. That half dried Vadam just tastes perfect.

When to put Vadam?

Always plan and put the Vadam. Make sure you get good 3 consecutive sunny day for Vadam to dry well in the sun. 

For the past two weeks it had been super sunny here in Seattle and we utilized it best. Amma made Arisi Vadam, javvarisi Vadam and my bestie made Ellai Vadam. Hopefully you will be seeing some Vadam post in TMF.

What kind of Rice  flour should I use for Arisi Vadam?

Back in India Arisi Vadam is made by grinding Rice and sago in mill. Here in USA that’s not possible . Few years back when Amma visited us she experimented it with rice flour and sago, rice flour and sago flour- bingo Amma came up with a perfect recipe for homemade Arisi Vadam.

I have used store brought rice flour as it makes the process super easy and convenient instead rice flour can also be made in home. Every store brought rice flour varies slightly always buy a super fine rice flour which is must as it will be easy to press. I buy Udupi rice flour but any fine rice flour should works fine for Arisi Vadam

Should I use Sago for Arisi Vadam?

If you are planning to make Arisi Vadam with just rice flour like koozh Vadam, sago is not required I will be sharing that recipe soon. For this particular version sago is must as it gives nice texture and crispness for the Vadam.

Can I use store brought sago flour instead of sago?

Sago flour can be used instead of sago but required extra water and dough is slightly hard to press when compared to the dough prepared with sago.

Should it be a two day job?

Since we are using sago it needs to be soaked for atleast 2-3 hours before cooking. Vadam is generally made during the morning so that it can be dried well in sun so soaking it previous night makes it easy if not we might miss sun or need to soak in the early morning

Notes

  1. Keep a stone or some form object around the edges to prevent the Vadam paper from moving around
  2. In India people keep black umbrella to protect Vadam from crow
  3. Vadam dough looks less salty but
  4. Vadam gets the salt as it dries so avoid adding excess salt
  5. Filtering green Chilli water is optional . To make it kids friendly we generally does it in our home
  6. The amount of water may vary slightly depending on the rice flour. Always keep hot water handy just in case
  7. Avoid covering the Vadam with paper/cloth while drying
  8. Make sure the rice flour is mixed well without any lumps
  9. Dough with lumps won’t come out easily in the idiyappam press
  10. Never leave the Vadam overnight as the moisture will make the Vadam soggy
  11. Always dry hands while flipping the Vadam
  12. If the dough is dry sprinkle little hot water
  13. For perfect vadam dough should be non sticky if touched
  14. Vadam tastes best if it is well sun dried
  15. While cooking vadam in hot oil if you see popping it means it is not dried properly
  16. Always fry the Vadam in hot oil
  17. If the dough has excess water add little rice flour and cook
  18. If for some reasons the dough turns so lumpy and difficult to press grind the dough.  Use a spoon and make koozh vadam
