For Seemandam / Valagappu, its a tradition in Tirunelveli to keep Varavarasi as seer bakshanam. Indian pulses like green moong, cow peas, black chick peas, yellow peas dal along with peanut, poha, sesame seeds, rice are all dry roasted and mixed together with salt and spice. A very healthy snack as we are using all healthy pulse and we are dry roasting without frying anything in oil. Especially for valagappu its a tradition to make this nutritional rich dish. We need little patience to finish this dish. So nowadays most of us are getting this varavarisi from Grand Sweets and keeping it for seer bakshanam. But its not a complex dish, so we can very well make this and it would be a healthy snack for kids too. Instead of giving fried snacks this Varavarisi (varapayiru) is a healthy snack too !
Tips for making Varavarasi:
- Wash all the pulses thoroughly before soaking and drying.
- Dry roast each pulse separately. Each pulse takes its own time to become hot and crispy.
- Adding seedai is optional.
- Salt+red chili powder+hing gets mixed nicely if its made to paste rather than adding it as dry powder.
- Sun dry the final mixture completely before storing in air-tight container.
