Malu's Traditional Kuchi Vadam 250 Gms

Kuchi Vadam is the vadam on a stick — rice flour batter piped into small stars or rosettes around a thin stick, sun-dried, and fried just before eating. The stick is not decorative; it is how the vadam is held while frying, and it gives Kuchi Vadam a shape that fries more evenly than a flat vadam.

In Thanjavur homes, Kuchi Vadam is made in large batches during the summer months when the sun is strong enough to dry them quickly. Children help with the piping. The sticks are laid out in rows on large trays or mats in the courtyard. A few days later, they are collected, stored in large dabbas, and eaten over the next several months.

Ours captures that same process — rice flour batter, sun-dried, no shortcuts — in a pack that ships anywhere in India.
