    WHY JAVVARISI VADAM with sago flour

    Traditional Javvarisi vathal requires soaking sago and then cooking. Sago vathal with store-bought sago flour helps for easy vathal maavu preparation. Sago vadam is a great beginner-friendly recipe to try for the summer season. All you need is a spoon/small ladle to make sabudana vathal.

    Koozh vadam with javvarisi maavu

    Vathal maavu can be prepared within 10 mins. Cook till it turns glossy; vathal maavu is ready. 

    should I grind sago flour?

    grinding is optional but it helps for the smooth lump-free batter.

    colorful Javvarisi vatral

    Javvarisi vadam can be made colorful with some turmeric powder/chilli powder/ herbs or add some food colors.

    WHEN TO PUT koozh vathal?

    Always plan and put the Vadam. Ensure you at least get good 3 consecutive sunny days for Vadam to dry well in the sun.

    WHAT IS THE BEST SURFACE TO PUT VADAM?

    I always use parchment paper for making my vadam. I have seen people using plastic sheets for vadam but if you are opting for plastic sheets make sure it is of good thick quality. Most importantly the sheet should not have any wording /coloring as there is a high chance of Vadam getting impressions. Cotton cloth can also be used for making vadam. Vinyl sheets can also be used.

    HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD I USE FOR sago koozh VATHAL?

    It might slightly vary depending on the sago flour variety you use. I generally add a 1:8 ratio of sabudana flour to water

    SHOULD I USE LEMON JUICE?

    Yes always add lemon juice while preparing javvarisi vathal. Adjust the amount according to the sourness of the lemon.

    WHEN TO FLIP THE VADAM?

    On a peak sunny day, vadam can be easily flipped in the late afternoon. Gently try to flip, if vadam is sticking then try after a few hours. Always keep the vadam indoors around sunset, again dry them the next day. Once the vadam dries it becomes lightweight and might tend to fly/fall so after drying for two days the third day I generally dry the vadam in a baking tray/ plate

    HOW TO STORE THE sabudana VADAM?

    After the fryums are sundried well use an air-tight container and store. It stays good for at least a year.

    WHAT GOES WELL WITH Sago fryums

    In our home, we love snacking deep-fried vadam. It goes well with any rice variety dishes. It can also be taken as a side for rice accompaniment like rasam, kootu, kuzhambu variety

    CAN I FAN DRY KOOZH vatral

    No, you need good sun for the vadam to dry well. For peak Seattle sunny days it takes around three days to dry. Dried vadam turns glossy. It can be easily crushed into pieces without any moisture.
