SEMIA VADAM

INGREDIENTS

rice flour  1 kg

sabudana/ sago 1 glass, soak over night

lime 3 big

green chillies 5-6 grind well with salt & hing,strain

salt to taste

water 2 litres

Method

boil water, add salt, add rice flour & soaked sabudan, keep stirring well, till it is well cooked & dry.

remove, add lime juice & ground green chillies, mix well.

once it cools, fill the dough in 'omapodi' or bhujia maker & make small round shapes in a clean plastic sheet

keep it in the sun to dry, by evening, turn each one carefully, as underneath it will be slightly wet. so next morning, again keep them in the sun to dry. once they're all completely dry, store in a clean air-tight container.

As & when needed, heat oil, fry it, this gets fried quickly, so be careful, drain & eat it with any form of rice- biryani, pulao, mixed vegetable rice, tomato rice or by some chance, you don't have time to make vegetable, have it with sambar rice/ rasam ! those who like it, can eat it plain too, like my grandmother !
