Kothavarangai Vathal (Sun Dried Cluster Beans) is very crunchy and tasty Vathal which goes very well with any rice varieties. We can use this as a substitute to Pappad. We can make one large batch, store it in air tight container and use it whenever required.

What is Vathal ?

The sun dried vegetables are called Vathal. It’s one of the traditional and oldest way to preserver the vegetables. We can make vathal using ladysfinger, bitter gourd, Ivygourd, cluster beans, green chilies, manathakkali etc.  Once the vegetables are completely sun-dried these will be stored in the air tight container and deep fried when required.

What is the right time to make Vathal ?

Tamil month “Masi” is the perfect time for making papad, vathal and vadam. The main reason is the warm weather in the morning. In summer, even at 6am it would so hot and we couldn’t be able to make vadam. Though, I’m staying abroad, here the weather is so perfect this month and hence I started with making vathal and vadam.

What are the different variations to make Vathal ?

  1. For vegetables like Kothavarangai (cluster beans) we just boil it in hot water with salt and turmeric powder and sun dry it for 4 to 5 days.
  2. But for some vegetables like ladies finger, green chili, manathakkali, we don’t cook the vegetable in the hotwater. Instead we soak them in the butter milk along with salt overnight and next day we dry them in the sun. In the night we put them again in the buttermilk mixture. We repeat this process for 4-5 days till the vegetable is completely cooked.
For this specific recipe of Kothavarangai Vathal, we are going to follow the first method.
