Notes

  1. Roasting vathal in oil and ghee makes it aromatic so it would recommend that
  2. Roasted berries stays good for 3-4 days at room temperature. you can also coarse-grind the roasted ingredients and prepare manathakkali vathal podi if you are not comfortable biting sun-dried berries.

How to make a perfect postpartum-friendly vathal Poondu Sadam?

  1. Usually, for mixed rice, we keep rice fluffy but for this, we don’t. Rice is not mushy but not as fluffy as it is served for new moms. It should be easy to digest
  2. Use ghee and sesame oil for cooking as it is good for new moms
  3. You can adjust pepper according to your taste but avoid red or green chilli
  4. Preferably chop the garlic into small pieces so that it gets fried well in ghee. Whole garlic can get fried quickly and the outer layer may look golden brown, but there is a high probability of raw garlic smell inside

Variation for Manathakkali vathal rice - you can

  1. Coarse grind sauteed sun-dried berries
  2. Saute Small onion
  3. Coriander powder, turmeric powder, or any spice of choice can be used
  4. Hing, ginger powder can be added for extra flavor
