Vazhakkai Chips Recipe

Vazhakkai Chips is very easy to make at home.This time I made just for posting sake as I always end up using vazhakkai  for making vazhakkai poriyal or podimas. I love vazhakkai chips with pepper flavour the best, recently I had atAnandas when they gave it for side accompaniment for sambar sadam and I just loved it, so that urged me to make it at home.Check out my nendran chips.
