Avara Vathal (1/2 Padi)

The Authentic Pantry Staple of Chettinad

Taste tradition in its purest form. Our Avara Vathal is a classic Chettinad staple, made from fresh cluster beans (Avarakkai) that are meticulously cleaned, cooked with salt, and then sun-dried for days until perfectly preserved.

This traditional method locks in the bean's unique, slightly bitter flavor, transforming it into a versatile pantry hero. It's the secret to an authentic Vatha Kuzhambu or can be simply fried in oil to create a crispy, salty, and utterly delicious side dish (poriyal) for rice. Keep a pack in your kitchen to add a burst of traditional Chettinad flavor to any meal.
