Suswaad Elai Vadam – A Traditional South Indian Delicacy
 
Elai Vadam, also known as Ilai Vadam, is a cherished South Indian delicacy traditionally prepared by steaming a seasoned rice batter on banana leaves. At Suswaad, we honor this time-honored method by crafting our Elai Vadam with a smooth batter of finely ground rice, lightly seasoned with cumin seeds and salt. The batter is spread thinly over banana leaves and steamed to perfection, resulting in delicate, paper-thin sheets.
 
Once steamed, these vadams are carefully sun-dried to preserve their authentic flavor and texture. When ready to serve, they can be deep-fried until crispy or roasted over an open flame for a healthier alternative. Their light, airy crunch makes them a delightful accompaniment to meals or a satisfying snack on their own.
