Kaaradayan Nombu Uppu Adai (காரடையான் நோம்பு உப்பு அடை)

Karadayan Nombu is a festival celebrated in TamilNadu. There are two types of Vadai and this one is the savory one. More details of this festival is here. For some tips and tricks - DO NOT EAT CURD ON KARADAYAN NOMBU. If the hands are sticky while making the adai, use little sesame oil or very little water and rub between the palms. Also wash hands in between to remove stickiness completely. Color will become more dull between the steamed adai and non-steamed adai and there will be a shine on the steamed ones.

    1. Hi Priya.. Thanks and wish you the same. We do not eat Curd on Nombu day as eating curd is considered as a meal and technically on Nombu, we have to be fasting.. This is my understanding.
