Sigh! This post is bringing back so many memories. If the next 5 minutes of reading takes you to mushy-land, well, blame it on my nostalgia that’s taken over me ever since I sat down to work on this post. First things first. My parents are here. YAY! Right? 
I am ecstatic to say the least. Life’s made plans for us such, that its not been easy to visit our birthplace as often as we would have liked to. But parents are awesome, arent they? They solved our heartache by coming to us So, at the risk of being criticised by my little one, I have been behaving extremely child like with my mom around. I mean, can you blame me?
Amidst all that pampering, the blogger in me perks up every time my mom talks about making some traditional dish. Its a good thing that I have a supportive system who instead of shaking their head at my childish enthusiasm, only egg me on to continue doing likewise. With the summer in full swing, my mom insisted we make some Vadams just like back in India. Until now, we have been insisting people visiting India show their love for us by getting us some vadams. So, finally getting down to make some right at home, seemed like a prudent decision. The process of making these helped to recreate my childhood memory of me helping my mom make these. I would volunteer to watch over them while they were drying up the terrace; obviously because I could help myself to the raw semi-drying vadams, under the pretext of watching over them from the meddling birds.
I am sure my mother knew that the only bird that was finishing up a considerable amount was me :p. But she humored me anyway Aren’t moms the best? (Yeah myself included, even if I say so myself ;)) These are crunchy and crispy with a light-as-air texture to it. Their flavor is quite bland on their own and very dependant on the seasoning you provide. For this post, I have kept it pretty basic and have not added chillies given our low endurance for “hot” foods. But do refer my tips section for ideas.(...)
