Dhal Vadam(Kozhambu Vadam)

In our house we buy big mathan and elavan from chanthai(Market). After making kozhambu the skin and inside part(with seeds) of mathan,  we use for this vathal.Matyhan's kudal, skin and chana dhal, urad dhal, red chili ,salt and perungayam.soak them for 3 hours and grind coarsely.Make small  dough spread in a paper and dry in the sun.In our native place(Kerala) we keep this vadam for monsoon season. You can fry this and eat with thair sadam. Fry and add to the keerai masiyal. It is very tasty. Finally you can add in sambar (if you have no vegetables) and vathal kozhambu.
