Am making javvarisi vadam for the first time and I could say one of my dreams come true. First time I bought it from store and it stick to the teeth 😏 So I was little nervous that this will be the same but wonder that it did not 😃 It was super perfect and taste awesome!!! Homemade stuffs are always good and tastes better and trust me this is wonderful!!! Here, Houston summer is best for vadams and I make sure that every year I should make it and store it. Since my sister lives here I make double the quantity to parcel 😄
INGREDIENTS:
Javvarisi / Sago / Tapioca pearls - 1 cup
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Green chillies - 5 to 6
Lemon juice - 2 tsp / half lemon
Water - 5 cups
Salt - as needed
HOW TO MAKE:
Soak javvarisi for 3 to 4 hours. Depending on the sago size the soaking time may vary. I used black pepper sized sago. Boil 5 cups of water in a heavy bottom vessel and I used my pressure cooker which was perfect. when the water started boiling add soaked sago and cumin seeds.
Roughly it takes 10 to 15 mins to coo. Meanwhile grind the green chillies by adding little water. Add it to the sago mix along with needed salt. Allow to cook for sometime like 2 to 3 mins then turn off the stove. The mixture need not to be thick and when it started cooling down, it get thickened. Add lemon juice and mix well.
Once it cooled down, transfer it in to three bowls for adding colors. Adding colors is full of your choice. I have made plain, yellow and red so I have parted three different bowls.
Place cleaned white cloth or sheet under the sun. start making vadams, like take a half ladle of sago and spread to a small circle / disks. Allow to dry till the evening and bring it inside. Place it again next day morning and allow to dry till evening. Repeat the same for one more day.
At the end of second day you could able to peel the vadam. If you can able to peel it then, peel everything and spread it in the big plate. Allow to dry two more days. Normally it takes 3 to 4 days to dry completely. Store the dried vadam in the airtight container.
When the vadam is ready to fry, heat oil in a kadai and fry them until the ssshhh sound goes off.
Yummy vadams ready!!! 😋
TIPS:
Use cotton cloth for drying the vadams. Using cloth will be nature friendly 😄
Do not add more water. 1:5 is perfect measurement and if you add more will be very liquid.
Check salt before you turn off the stove.
Adding color is absolutely your choice.
