About Vadagam
Vadagam, also known as Vadavam or Thalipu Vadagam, is a traditional Indian seasoning made from sun-dried aromatic ingredients. Originating primarily from South Indian cuisine, it is prepared using a blend of spices, herbs, and vegetables like onions, garlic, cumin, mustard seeds, fenugreek, and curry leaves. These ingredients are combined with castor oil, shaped into small clumps, and dried under the sun to create long-lasting flavor pods. Vadagam is used as a seasoning, adding rich, deep flavors to curries, gravies, and stir-fries. Nutritionally, it is a low-calorie condiment that contains beneficial antioxidants and compounds from herbs and spices. Ingredients like garlic and fenugreek may contribute to improved digestion and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the high oil content in Vadagam, particularly from castor oil, may make it calorie-dense, so moderation is key. Its concentrated nature means a small amount goes a long way in enhancing the dish’s taste.
