ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteVadiyam is a mixure of all talimpu(tadka) ingreidients like mustard,jeera,uraddal,hing,methi.We mix these in crushed pearl onions and make them into small balls and dry them under sun.we can preserve these and use for tadka which gives nice smell and taste to the curry and dals. u can use normal tadka items like mustard,jeera,hing instead of this.
