Karandi vathal

“Karandi Vathal” is a traditional South Indian sun-dried condiment made from seasoned lentil or rice flour paste, which is shaped into small disks or rings before drying. Once dried in the sun, these disks become crispy and are typically fried or roasted before being added to dishes to enhance flavor and texture. Commonly used in soups, curries, and rice dishes, karandi vathal adds a unique crunch and savory taste, making it a beloved ingredient in South Indian cuisine.
