Vathal:
Aachi's have the strategic vision that they make vathals by drying seasonal veggies like Mango, Brinjal, flat beans, cluster beans and use it throughout the year. We get plenty of seasonal vegetables like Mango, Brinjal, flat Beans and cluster Beans in the market during the month of May and June, the hot season favorable for Vitamin D enrichment. This climate is favorable for drying the seasonal vegetables to make it as vathals. Normally the price of these vegetables increases during the off-season. Achis of Chettinad region have the strategic vision of processing the seasonal vegetables at the right time to make vathals and use it throughout the year. In chettinad, these vathals are used to make the unique taste of various dishes. Mango vathal is used in Sambar, Ellan Kuzhambu, Mor Kuzhambu, Rasam (Mangottai), Vathal Kuzhambu, Vathal Mandi etc. Vathal made using proper procedure during summer season can be stored for long-term use to enjoy the unique taste throughout the year.

Vessels in Chettinadu:
New joiners to Umayal Kitchen. This is called "Adukku" meaning Adukki vaikkalam, goes inside of each vessel. Mainly will be used as serving dishes. Same way we display vessels during marriages from bride's parents side called "Saaman parapuradhu". Main advantage is, less place consumption and used as per capacity while guest arrives or depends on the curry we prepares. In our native for veg and non-veg, always they maintain different set of utensils including Pan, Knife, Laddle.... #Adukku #newjoinerstoumayalkitchen #umayalkitchen #silverutensils #utensilsdisplay #chettinadumarriages #saamanparaparudhu
