Thamara Vathal (Lotus Stem Crisps)

The lyer Paat's Thamara Valhal is a rare delicacy from temple-town kitchens, crafted from thinly sliced lotus stems, sun-dried to a perfect crunch with a naturally earthy flavor. Handmade without preservatives and rooted in tradition, this crisp and wholesome vathal is a beautiful side to hot rasam, tamarind rice, or curd rice
