What are wadiya?

During Partition, both communities faced a lot. They started with whatever little they had. They worked hard. After partition, they started business and shops. Many became restaurateurs and hoteliers. Some sold golgappas on street. Many started chaat bhandars across India. Many started cottage industries. Prepared home made khiche or khichiya, kachri, aloo papad', alu wadi and moong papad.

Women worked from home while men sold these on bicycles. Even today, you will find this industry thriving in Sindhi colonies across India. I had a wonderful time buying all kinds of Amritsari aloo wadi in the markets during my foodie vacation in Punjab.

How to make wadiyan at home?

  • Add different flavors and heat. Some like it plain, while others spicy.
  • It is then rolled via rolling pin.
  • We then mix chunks of lentils with salt.
  • Dry them in a dehydrator or in hot summer sun.
  • Store in a clean dry container, when they turn hard enough.
