Thalir vadam!!

Its been a longgggg time since I blogged.. Enjoying with my mom and also her delicious recipes..

Below recipe is one of my favorites.. Thalir vadam (தளிர் வடாம்).. Very traditional.. This is usually deep fried in after it gets dried up.. Now instead of drying it, we will be cooking in steam and consume immediately.. Slurrrrrrppp.. Mouth watering..

Ingredients:

- 1 cup raw rice (cup - ஆழாக்கு)

- 10 medium sized green chillies      (Note: 10 nos for spicy lovers)

- 2 medium sized lime (lime- indian lemon)

- 2 tsp Cumin seeds (சீரகம்)

- 4 tsp gingelly oil (நல்லேன்னய்)

- Salt to taste

Method:

1. Soak rice for 3-4 hrs. 

2. Grind the rice along with green chillies. Fine paste consistency.

3. Add oil, jeera, salt and water. Mix well and it should be of thin consistency like rava dosa batter. 

4. Pour one small cup (கரண்டி) of batter to aluminium plate (ONLY) and spread the same by just rotating the plate.

5. Steam cook the same for 2-3 mins. (In idli pot or in a kadai by just placing a stand inside with water) 

6. After the plate cools down, remove with the help of a sharp spoon. 

Ready to eat!!!!!
