Narthangai Vathal Spicy (Dry) is made by drying pieces of citron (narthangai) that have been seasoned with a blend of spices, giving them a zesty and spicy flavor. Commonly used in South Indian cooking, this dried citrus is often fried or added to gravies and rice dishes like curd rice and tamarind rice to enhance their taste with its tangy, spicy notes. Known for its digestive properties, Narthangai Vathal is a traditional favorite for balancing the richness of meals and stimulating the appetite.
