How to Use Chinna Vengayam Vadagam :
Preparation:
Thalippu vadagam usually comes in the form of small round balls. Before using it, crush or crumble the vadagam to release its flavors more effectively.
Tempering:
Thalippu vadagam is commonly used for tempering or tadka in South Indian dishes. The tempering process involves heating oil or ghee in a pan and adding spices to it to infuse the oil with their flavors.
Steps for Tempering:
-
- Heat a tablespoon of oil or ghee in a pan over medium heat.
- Add a small piece of thalippu vadagam to the hot oil.
- Let the vadagam sizzle and release its aroma. Stir the mixture gently to prevent burning.
- Once the mustard seeds start spluttering and the dal turns golden brown, turn off the heat.
