Fryums

In southern part of India, during summer, people usually prepare their own fryums on terrace. Here's my family preparing the fryum for the year

How interesting to see the procedure

I had to look this one up. They are new to me, but I love how they are created community.

So many questions about this, but I will control myself. I like your POV. I like the ladies working together and the pattern that is created.

Hey @randystreat , feel free to ask

[Kathy]

Ok since you allowed them. Are they dried like this and fried when eaten? If this is enough for a whole year (and perhaps it isn't) when are they eaten? A special occasion? Of course now that I get the opportunity, I don't remember other questions I had so this will do for now.

Yes, they are dried for a day or two before they get fried.

Since the summer is 3-4 months here in southern part of India, we usually do this in alternative months, apart from this even the nearby relatives share their fryums with us to taste their variant..So sometimes, it mostly covers the year.

We make fryums every summer, not just for any special occasion.
