Pumpkin vathal

Pumpkin Vathal

Thank you Adity / Ramesh for the huge Halloween pumpkin! Made vadaam (in Tamil) aka fryums

Peeled the skin and removed the seeds of the pumpkin
Chopped up the pulp of the pumpkin
Added a few pumpkin pieces, urad dhal, tur dhal, red chili, hing and salt to the above and let them all soak for about 4 hours
Now the dhals are fully soaked in the juices,  I ground them coarsely with no water; now the dough is ready for drying
Took spoonful of dough and dropped it onto a plastic sheet to let them dry for 2-3 days inside the house
When completely dry, i store them in a dry place to be used as and when needed
Deep fry  in oil; use the fried vadaam as vegetables for sambhar or vetthakozumbu or eat as a side dish with yogurt rice.?
