Arisi Koozh Vadam recipe

How to make arisi koozh vadam at home

Cuisine:Indian

Category:Snacks

Yields:3-4 cups

Prep time:5 Hours

Cook time:45 Minutes

Total time:5H45M+3days

INGREDIENTS

1 cup = 200ml

Rice – Raw rice or steamed rice – 2 cups
Javvarisi/sago – 3 tbsp ( optional,we don’t use)
Lemon – 1/2 no
Green chillies – 4-6 nos ( based on size)
Cumin seeds/Jeera – 1/2 tbsp
Crystal Salt – as needed
Water – to make dough ( we used 8 cups)

For making vadam

Murukku press with star mould or Ribbon pakoda mould
White cloth or polythene sheet
A heavy bottomed vessel for cooking the koozh dough + a ladle

METHOD

Wash and soak the rice for 4 hours( add sago if using).Grind the rice adding enough water to a very smooth paste.No matter even if the batter becomes watery.
Grind the green chillies along with the salt required for koozh vathal. Add water and grind it to a paste.
Heat a pressure cooker base or a big heavy bottomed vessel. Add 2 cups of water to the ground koozh batter and mix it without lumps.Heat 8 cups of water to the cooker and let it boil.Add the chillies paste and cumin seeds while the water boils.

When the water starts to roll boil,add the koozh batter in one hand while stirring the water in the other hand.Keep the flame high & mix well till all the water is absorbed by the dough. Check for salt and add some powdered salt if needed.

Now simmer the flame and cover the cooker.Let the dough cook well for 30 minutes.Stir it in regular intervals else the dough will be burnt in the bottom.
Once the dough is cooked,it will become shiny and non sticky. U should be able to roll by greasing your hands in water.Lastly add the lemon juice,mix well and let it rest for few minutes. ( Adding lemon juice gives a mild sour taste to vadam and makes the vadam white in color.But you should add it only at the end else the batter will taste bitter)
Now take a murukku press with star mould or ribbon pakoda mould.Ribbon pakoda mould is better to use.Take a ladle ful of koozh dough and fill the murukku press When the dough is hot.If u wait for the dough to cool down,a layer may form ie rice aadai and it may block the holes of press making it hard to press.so my Mil always press the dough when it is hot.

Wash and spread a white cotton cloth or polyester cloth( helps to remove easily) or plastic sheet.Press the murukku press over the cloth vertically as shown in the picture.

Allow it to sun dry for a day till the evening and dry it under the fan over night.It will be half dried,The next day morning,sprinkle water on the back side of cloth and remove the half dried vadam.Spread them well and again sun dry it for whole day.Repeat the same process till they are completely dry.It takes maximum 3-5 days based on the weather.

When they turn completely dry,heat oil and fry few pieces.If it comes out crispy,it is perfect.If it tastes chewy and uncooked,it has to be dried for more time.So let it dry for 2 more days.
Once they are completely dry,store it in a box.Fry it whenever needed.

It stays good for years when u use clean dry hands to handle.Never touch the vadam with wet hands because small insects will come over time.

Enjoy with your favorite variety rice.We love to have it for tamarind rice,sambar rice and lemon rice.

Note

You can use either raw rice or steamed rice.Raw rice vadam looks white in color.But my MIL says vadam made with steamed rice tastes good.
You can also add little quantity of sago/javvarisi.It gives crispy and light vathal.But it absorbs little more oil while frying.
If u want to store the fried vathal,keep it in a polythene cover and close it air tight.It will stay good for a day

Try this arisi koozh vathal and enjoy with your favorite variety rice ! I had it with sambar rice
