SAMAI ARISI VADAM

In summer season, we make lots of vadams.  Elai vadam is very easy to make as it can be dried under the fan also during the hot season and a day you sun dry the same.  I am trying various kind of vadams now a days and today I prepared the samai arisi vadam.

It is like the elai vadam we make with the normal rice.  Since there is a restriction in my house to consume the oily food, I am trying with limited quantity.  You can increase the same according to your requirement.  This can be eaten fried along with a cup of tea as a snack and served with sambar rice, rasam rice etc.

Let us look at the recipe now:

Ingredients:

1/4 cup samai arisi
2 green chilli
1/2 tsp white seasame seed
salt

Method:

Soak the samai rice after one wash for 30 minutes.  Grind together with green chilli.  Add salt, sesame seed and keep it overnight for fermentation.  rest of the process is like elai vadam.

 In a bowl take little water add one teaspoon oil in it.   Take a small piece of cloth, dip in it and smear the vadam thattu with with oil mixed water.   Take a spoonful of the batter and spread it in the thattu or you can use plates also as can be seen in the video.  But this will work out only if you are preparing small quantity like quarter  cup.    Keep it in the stand and steam it for 5-8 minutes.  Remove from the stand and allow to cool.  Apply oil/water mix  with your palm on it and remove it and put it in plastic sheet for drying under the fan.  later on 2-3 hours you can sun dry the same.  keep it in airtight container.  

How to serve:

You can fry the same and serve it along with tea  or coffee.

the raw ones are eaten by applying little oil on it.

can be served with chitrannam, sambar, rasam rice, dal rice, kichadi  etc.
