Wadiyan or badiyan are made from urad dal with added spices and dried in sunlight, that was the traditional way, and was used in many homes. However good quality wadiyan are now also available in major markets. My mother used home made wadiyan’s to make potato curry and pulav, so today I used these market bought ones to make Punjabi Wadiyan Ka Pulav and it tasted absolutely delicious. They best go with boondi raita and can be served in any of the main meals. Its fairly easy to make this dish as they need only whole spices and salt as the ingredient.
