It is summer and time to make வடாம்! It is easy to make them in Madurai I have a big மொட்ட மாடி ideal for drying வடாம்!

கூழ் வடாம் I am making to day since predicted weather is 101 degrees Sunny and dry!

It was on these long afternoons that my uncle showed us the joy of eating half-dried vadams .

J enjoys eating half dried vadamas!

Pilfering food from grandma’s kitchen

What she did inside the dark space was a mystery, but the aromas could not be hidden
