Biyyam Vadiyalu

Vadiyalu is a type of fitters which are prepared in the summer and eaten the whole year until the next summer comes.They are many types of vadiyalu which are cooked and dried under

the sun.I never made vadiyalu myself,when i was with my mom she used to make the batter early in the morning and we all used to put vadiyalu on our terace.Usually the hot batter in taken by hand or a spoon and are kept on a wet cloth to dry.In the evening my mom used to bring them and used to peel the vadiyalu from the cloth and again they are dried for another two days not necessarliy on the terace.And these can be stored for more than year and can be fried when ever required. After getting married my mom sends me vadiyalu without fail.These vadiyalu mom made few days back.
