- Asafoetida/hing - a pinch
- Salt as required
Optional ingredients:

STEPS FOR PREPARATION
For preparing Vadagam mix:
- Boil four cups of water and cook two cups of sago in a heavy bottomed vessel.
- Keep stirring and make sure it does not stick to the surface.
- Cook until the sago balls turn soft and transparent.
- Add green chilli paste, asafoetida and salt, give it a mix and let it turn slightly like a paste.
- Add two teaspoons of lemon juice, mix and switch off the flame.
- You can also separate them into batches and try each one with different colors by adding food color powder or gel.
To prepare Vadagam:
- In a flat plate or tray, lay a plain white cloth or plastic cover to make sure it is straightened without any wrinkles.
- Take a spoon or a small ladle of prepared mix and pour it on the tray in spherical Vadagam shape, one by one with gaps in between two.
- Let it dry in morning sunlight for a few days until it dries out well and crispy.
- It might take three to four days depending on the weather.
- On the second or third day check if one side has dried and flip to the other side.
- Once it can be removed from the cloth, place it on a plain tray and let it dry again for a couple of days. This will enhance the crispness.
- Prepared vadam can be stored in an airtight container. It can be used for over a month.
For frying Vadagam:
- In a pan, add oil and let it heat at medium to high flame.
- Once it is hot enough check by adding a small piece.
