Kothavarangai Vathal

A traditional sun-dried delicacy from Tamil Nadu, Kothavarangai Vathal is made from tender Kothavarangai/Seeniavarakkai (a type of bitter pod or bean), seasoned and carefully dried under the sun to preserve its unique flavor and texture. Known for its slightly bitter and tangy taste, this vathal is a perfect accompaniment to curd rice or sambar rice. Once fried, it turns crispy and adds a delightful crunch and depth of flavor to any meal.
