NATTU VATHAL [SAMBA]

Egkam’s Nattu Vathal Samba is a curated collection of handpicked, naturally sun-dried native vegetables — such as sundaikkai (turkey berry), manathakkali (black nightshade), kothavarangai (cluster beans), and more — made without any artificial preservatives or additives.

These vathals are a staple in Tamil cuisine, especially used in tamarind-based dishes for their unique bitter-sour flavor, and also known for aiding digestion and reducing body heat.

Prepared in small batches using salt-curing, natural fermentation, and sun-drying, they preserve the authentic taste of Tamil ancestral kitchens.

🍂 How to Use:

Deep fry a handful and add to vathal kuzhambu, mor kuzhambu, or sambar.

Enjoy fried vathals as a crispy side dish with curd rice or plain rice.

Can be crushed into spice mixes or chutneys for added punch.

Always fry before consuming or cooking.

⚠ Note:

Store in an airtight container to keep moisture away.

Shelf-stable for months if stored in a cool, dry place.

May contain salt — adjust seasoning in dishes accordingly.

Not ready-to-eat — must be deep-fried before use.

Egkam Trusted Brands proudly revive native culinary traditions — pure, time-honored, and packed with authentic flavor.
