Ingredients include sun dried citron, with salt and turmeric. An excellent digestive.

Product Description: Narthangai Vathal with Turmeric features pieces of citron that are typically brined in a salt solution and generously coated with turmeric powder before being sun-dried. The turmeric imparts a vibrant yellow color and its characteristic earthy, slightly bitter flavor, complementing the citron's unique citrusy and slightly bitter notes. The drying process preserves the citron, resulting in a flavorful and aromatic vathal.

Shelf Life and Storage: Properly dried Narthangai Vathal with Turmeric can last for a good period, generally six months or longer, if stored correctly. Given Chennai's humidity, it's essential to ensure the vathals are completely dry before storing them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Protecting them from moisture is key to preventing spoilage.

Nutritional Values: Narthangai Vathal with Turmeric, made from sun-dried citron (narthangai) coated with turmeric, retains some of the citron's Vitamin C and potential antioxidants, along with the benefits of turmeric, primarily its anti-inflammatory compound, curcumin. The drying concentrates these elements. 

Ideas for Dishes: Narthangai Vathal with Turmeric is a flavorful addition to South Indian cuisine. It is a key ingredient in the tangy and slightly bitter vathal kuzhambu. When tempered in oil, it can be added to various rice dishes like lemon rice or tamarind rice, lending its unique flavor and aroma. Small pieces can also be incorporated into vegetable curries or enjoyed as a flavorful (though sometimes slightly bitter) side accompaniment to rice and curd. The turmeric also adds a lovely color to the dishes.
