javvarisi vadagam recipe /sago vathal/sabudana vadam
When we think about summer foods we generally think of all the cool food stuffs and of-course its inevitable and demanding. But,think about another important preparation that we make during summer Yes! you are right its vathal. This time summer is continuing to be too hot that these vadams dries out in no time,even one day itself is enough it seems. I have dried this javvarisi vadagam recipe for 3 days to nicely become crisp and stores well for months. 
Generally,for all the vadams use salt with caution because when it dries out it becomes salty. You can add some jeera also for this javvarisi vadam. This javvarisi vadagam recipe is one of the popular and tasty side dish snacks that are done here. Sometimes rice flour is also added along with this javvarisi mixture to give more volume and consistency. Mostly we in our house do it plainly without adding rice flour and even I don’t add any colour. You can use polythene sheets to dry vathals than using cloth as it is hard to remove it.

Notes
I have used medium sized sago for making this vadams.
Instead of using cloth you can use polythene sheets which will easily come out after drying.
I have not used any colours to make this as colourful vadams.
You can add some cumin seeds too while making this vadagams.
The sago should be cooked to perfection before drying these vadams.
